Rhabdomylosis

[HolibobsinApril]

DH has Rhabdomylosis after over doing it at the gym.

He went to hospital and is now home, his swollen arms are going down, but he feels completely rubbish!

We are finding it a bit of a dead end to get advice as to what to do next.

Are there any knowledgeable people on this subject please?

I had this years ago after a sporting event, was seen at minor injuries type place. I don't think I did anything after the intial treatment. Lots of baths and rest and maybe a sports massage!

My friend had this after an ultra marathon , a combination of dehydration and ibuprofen contributing factors. I hate to say this but I think steroids can contribute as well. My friend made a full recovery after a few weeks just with rest and staying hydrated. Never took ibuprofen whilst exercising again.

Thanks for your posts

He has had it quite badly from what they said in A&E. He is going back tomorrow for more tests.

The GP told him to have fluids and ibuprofen. Luckily he has friends who are doctors who put him straight.

He has had a headache all day and not wanted to take anything.

So much conflicting advice online.
