I have had a lot of rheumatic symptoms lately. I exercise 6 days a week and mountain bike on the weekends (in place of working out). All of the sudden I become unable to recover from my workouts (very sore, tired, weak, joints ache). I am sore all over, if I sit for too long, my hips and my thighs burn when I stand up and my first few steps are ginger and very stiff. I have also had REALLY bad headaches the last week and some night sweats. The other symptoms have been happening for almost three weeks. I have not worked out in over 2 weeks and have ridden my bike only once because of the symptoms. I am sore all over and just generally feel bad. My doctor thought that it might be polymyalgia rheumatica, but I had normal Sed rate. So, he referred me to a Rheumatologist. I will not be able to see him for a couple of weeks. Does anyone know what this is? I am only 23 years old (male). Could it be fibromyalgia (I have a family history of it) or Rheumatic arthritis? Any help that anyone can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!
