Help please with Myopathy

A little about myself im 23 yr male soon tobe 24 im married with 3 wonderfull kids.

MEDICAL HISTORY:

Ok well first im haveing some muscle problems i have twitching and my mucscles get sore fast and stay sore longer than they should. Also when i put pressure on my shoulders and hips they start to shake like they cant take the pressure. A couple of yrs ago i did 50 leg crunches and my thigh's was so sore and within 2 days i was in the hospital in renal failure.I had a couple of EMG's done my first one showed nothing my second the dr tested the shoulder and palvic area and it showed PROIMAL MYOPATHY.and then i had a muscle biopsy done they took muscle from the arm and thigh.the biopsy came back with nothing found.They keep testing my CK levels and there not high.And im also haveing resportory problems im allways sick at least 3 times a yr with bronchitis.I am a smoker so it could just be that.And im geting worse i was holding my 3yr doughter for about 20 mins at a praide and my arm started shakeing like crazy my arm couldn't even hold its own weight after that.It also happens to my legs if i bend down to long my legs start to shake and feel very weak..Im not sure on what to do or where to go.Im LOST and very frustrated.


It cought my eye about LGMD becouse it starts in the shoulders and hip area's.I have not been diagnosed with LGMD. The dr's arent helping becouse the muscle biopsy came back fine. Can someone please help me.

In Nov of last year i had something similar happen. I was at work and went to lift a patients chart in my left hand and dropped it. My bicep was so sore and achy and weak.it felt tired like I played a longgg game of tennis. This went on for 2 months and I finally went to my neurologist. He ran labs my CK was increased and so was my sed rate(means inflamation (inflammation) ). My lactic acid was also increased which has to do with muscle breakdown, like after excercising.My emg was abnormal showing myopathy. I to had a muscle biopsy. It showed glycogen storage .He is now running more biopsies on that tissue. He thinks I have acid maltase deficiency. It is an enzyme. There are at least 8 diff types of glycogen storage disease,all effecting in different ways and diii body parts. Maybe you should ask your dr about it. It can't hurt. Did he run the lab test lactic acid? Good luck.
