Muscle cramping
When using my muscles they quickly tire and feel crampy and hurt. I need to stop and rest from the activity then may go on but same thing again. This affects every skeletal muscle! Same thing as badbird496 described on Sep 01, 2010.
At rest, my muscle are not loose and soft. Instead they appear tight and hard to the touch, however, don't hurt. This continuously increased over many years. First I only had back pain, then I noticed the pain i my thigh, later it became a generalized problem. Meanwhile it is a huge problem diminishing my quality of life and it is becoming a threat to my professional and financial future.
Be assured i read all the general advice about electrolytes and I had more blood work done over the years than you can imagine. Electrolytes, vitamins, thyroid, infections, rheumatological diseases all tested. I saw neurologists, orthopedists, been to university clinics, neuromuscular departments (thought of mitochondriopathy or another metabolic muscle disease but they did not want to do a biopsy). Had medications withdrawn that can cause muscle pain which brought some improvement for a while but these did not appear to be the root cause.
I am a diabetic for a long long time and you may say that the cause may be there somehow but i have only little, well controlled neuropathy in my feet and my diabetologist says he#s never seen anything like that.
So, actually I do not expect that i will receive advice here that will bring the solution - unless anyone in this forum has or had exactly the same issue.
Thanks.

Do you take statins? Like Atorvastatine or similar? Other cause- a polyneuropathy. Though unusual symptoms for that.
My first thought is something related to lactic acid in the muscles, but if your doctors have been all over that I wouldn't be a better source than they are. Second thought is potassium is not uptaking in your system well, though you say you've taken vitamins. Third idea is M.S.
Sorry but I'm not one who has had exactly the same issue, though my muscles do hurt when I exert. In my case I think it's bad circulation.
