Respiratory, cardiac, or gastrointestinal symptoms sometimes accompany myalgia and myositis. Physical exam: A complete physical examination is needed to help identify possible underlying causes of myositis or myalgia. Stiffness or weakness may be evident in the individual's gait, posture, and coordination.
What are the symptoms of post-polio syndrome? Symptoms include slowly progressive muscle weakness, unaccustomed fatigue (both generalized and muscular), and, at times, muscle atrophy. Pain from joint degeneration and increasing skeletal deformities such as scoliosis are common. Some patients experience only minor symptoms. While less common, others may develop visible muscle atrophy, or wasting. Post-polio syndrome is rarely life-threatening. However, untreated respiratory muscle weakness can result in underventilation, and weakness in swallowing muscles can result in aspiration pneumonia.
What Are the Symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome? The symptoms of CRPS vary in their severity and length. One symptom of CRPS is continuous, intense pain that gets worse rather than better over time. If CRPS occurs after an injury, it may seem out of proportion to the severity of the injury.
