What Causes Muscle Aches And Cramping In Several Spots On Body?
Question: I am experiencing muscle aches and cramping in several spots on my body for two weeks now, especially in the rib cage area. What do I possibly have?
I suffered through what was diagnosed as a kidney infection a little over a month ago. I was treated with IV antibiotics at the hospital and oral antibiotics at home for seven days. My white blood cell count at that time was 18,000.

Brief Answer:
Could be due to low thyroid levels
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.
There are two parts of your query.
* A high WBC count indicates infection. Treatment with antibiotics should have taken care of it completely.
* The bodyache is likely not be due to muscle fatigue. However, I would insist you to get your thyroid profile checked as low thyroid hormone levels can also give rise to such symptoms.
Get the test done and share your report with me and I will help further.
