does anybody know if there is a name for?

Question

chronic muscle and joint pains

Answer 1

This sounds like a form of arthritis that makes your muscles ache as well.
Usually Rheumatoid-or in that family where your own immune system actually attacks your own tissue.
Tell your doctor. If you let it go it could have serious problems.
DO NOT let you doctors tell you that it is nothing or fibromyalgia. There are certain tests they can do to tell if you have inflammatory polyarthritis which is ANKOLOSING SPONDYLITIS, or others. It is an overall "achy" feeling, not just in joints. Kind of like you have the Flu everyday.
I was mis-diagnosed with "fibromyalgia" for 10 years while my real disease (ankylosing spondylitis) was taking toll. That is just an condition that they will say you have if they dont' do adequate testing.
Find a good doctor! That is my advice.
Just thought of it-there are 2 specific tests you should have. #1-sedimentation rate (blood test which tests how the cells settle within a certain amount of time) #2-test your blood for the gene HLA-B27 antigen. These are 2 signs of inflammatory arthritis.
Hope it helps

Answer 2

bad food habits and no exercises, too much sitting and hardly any walking... this is the name or whatever of your problem. U can certainly get better for muscular pains and to some extent joints only if follow the simple rules . I was not able to stand for more than 10 in one position and would get severe pains in legs and it would travel up my lower back.. However now i can stand for appro 30 minutes . see simple exercises by Swamy Ramdevji Maharaj on Aastha channel every night 8.15 to 9.30 and buy his CD "Pranayam", watch carefully and follow and also start taking morning and evening walk. once a week apply coconut or mustard oil all over your body and take bath after half an hour. This is not magic, give few months time,feel result and continue forever for healthy and happy life. there is joint exercise also in CD... give up junk and oily food, drink lot of water and one glass of warm milk morning and night

Answer 3

Arthritis is joints.
Chances are you have Arthritis. I'm not sure whats causing it in your muscles but there referred to as 'Cramps' people get it more than other. I know the feeling, it absolutely kills. the only way to get it out of your muscles is to move your muscles as fast as possible. Thats what i do at least.

They cramp when they need warming up I think. Either that, or they cramp after being warm and cooling down rapidly.

Answer 4

Arthromyalgia.

Answer 5

bursitis arthritis tendonitis etc

it depends largely on what is causing the pain before it gets a name!

Answer 6

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS), Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), and Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) share many of same symptoms, and often occur together, but they differ greatly in the methods used for their diagnosis and treatment.
CFS is defined by the Centers for Disease Control as persistent or relapsing fatigue lasting greater than six months that occurs in combination with at least four of the following eight symptoms: 1) short term memory loss, 2) sore throat, 3) tender cervical or axillary lymph nodes, 4) muscle pain, 5) joint pain without swelling or redness, 6) headaches, 7) unrefreshing sleep, or 8) post-exertional malaise that lasts more than 24 hours. CFS may develop at any age but usually starts in mid-life, often in conjunction with a flu-like illness, and is diagnosed more frequently in women. Numerous biochemical abnormalities have been identified in CFS patients but none as yet are considered diagnostic. And although many different treatments are available that appear to help with some CFS symptoms, no lasting cure has been found. FMS is characterized primarily by widespread chronic muscle and joint pain that is usually associated with disrupted sleep, chronic fatigue, cognitive problems, and many other variable symptoms. According to the American College of Rheumatology, FMS affects about 3% of the population and, like CFS and MCS, is much more common in women. It is easily diagnosed with a brief physical exam that involves the testing of 18 pressure (or tender) points. Treatments focus on relieving pain, avoiding stress, improving sleep and correcting hormonal imbalances. As with CFS and MCS, the onset of FMS may be gradual or sudden. Sudden onset is usually associated with physical injury or trauma, such as a car accident or difficult childbirth, although FMS also may be initiated by infection or chemical exposure. MCS, like CFS, is diagnosed primarily by the patient's history. It also is characterized by many diverse symptoms affecting multiple organs (such as the central nervous system and the respiratory system) that wax and wane in response to previously tolerated levels of chemical exposure. These exposures may be either inhaled (like perfume), ingested (like food, alcohol and medications), or absorbed through skin contact (like cosmetics). Other common exposures that trigger MCS symptoms include fresh paint, new carpet, solvents, pesticides, diesel exhaust and poor indoor air quality (as in "sick" buildings). GWS is less well defined and refers to the cluster of undiagnosed symptoms of unknown cause that have been reported by over 10% of the US veterans involved in the 1991 war against Iraq (more than 80,000 troops to date). Although studies published by the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans' Affairs, the National Institute of Medicine, and the Centers for Disease Control have failed to identify a "unique syndrome," the symptoms most commonly reported by ill veterans--including chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, sleep disturbances, and neurocognitive problems--are almost identical to those seen in CFS, FMS and MCS. Some independent researchers attribute the symptoms of GWS to pesticide and chemical weapons exposures, while others report finding a mycoplasma infection that can be treated, although not cured, with long-term use of antibiotics. Some researchers believe that Gulf War veterans and others who meet the diagnostic criteria for more than one of CFS, FMS and/or MCS may all be suffering from variations of some underlying but as yet undefined common syndrome. All, for example, seem to share heightened sensitivity to a diverse range of stresses, from physical exertion and infection to environmental exposures. In addition to chemical sensitivity, they often also report heightened sensitivity to bright lights, loud noises, hot and/or cold weather, and/or being touched. Until further research clarifies the nature of this overlap, however, the majority of physicians, insurers, attorneys and support groups continue to regard CFS, FMS, MCS and GWS as separate and distinct conditions. It is very important that anyone suspected of having any one of these overlapping syndromes be screened for all of the others as well as for other possible underlying causes of their symptoms such as lupus and sclerodema.
