Muscle Injury

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone for helping with my eternal questionning!! I have

learned so much from everyone!

I am wondering about muscle injury. As I have previously stated I

have this horrible pain in my middle back, lower ribs and chest, but

I never had this before. It started in July after I had exerted

myself doing alot of physical work, then I went on a vacation with my

daughter (alone) where I had to pick her up alot. The docs had

travelled down the myositis road (thinking I had mysositis because of

my CPK enzyme levels, without ever even looking at the fact I had

CMT, and we are supposed to pay them for the expertise?????) thinking

that was the problem. I went to a Rheumatologist yesterday and he

said that if I already have a neuromuscular disease, there is an

astronomical chance that I would have another one. So my neurologist

has put me through hell for nothing and I am back to square one. Ok,

on to my question:

Do our muscles heal slower than other people without CMT? Has there

been research on this? I don't understand how the CMT actually

affects our muscles, so I can't figure out how this could be the

problem, but I am beginning to think that I have injured myself and

because of the CMT and repeated use, it isn't healing. Please send

me any research websites or information, I have gone batty trying to

find this info for myself.

Thanks in advance!!
