I am too scared to ask my question I had uncomfortable pain in both my shoulders, neck, lower back, hips and pelic area. Both knees swelled up. I went to doctor and my thyroid is clean my vitamin D at 24. After increase in vitamin D and calcium for a few weeks, pain got worse. I went to another doctor who ran my blood. CRP, Quant is 0.7 mg/dl and SED Rate is 43 mm/hr. RA factor, quant is 7IU/ml so that was ok. I am scared I am going to have a heart attack or stroke and don t know what to do. Also, last week I saw in a couple fingernails tiny splinter black lines.
Hi, Pain all over is not an indicator of heart attack or stroke. The black lines are a potential sign of a dire, serious, deadly, infection. I cannot say in your particular case. Aches all over goes with this type of infection but people don't generally mention it because the "dire, serious, etc." gets all the attention. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
