10. Your muscle pain could be Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
Although there’s a small chance you could have Guillain-Barré Syndrome, it’s our duty to highlight it. Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a pretty rare disorder characterized by a malfunction within someone’s immune system. In other words, your body’s own immune system attacks your nerves. This malfunction usually appears after a bacterial or viral infection.
People who have Guillain-Barré Syndrome could experience muscle pain and muscle weakness. It’s a specific type of muscle pain, though. The pain often starts in the legs of a patient, traveling up to his/her arms. Some people may also experience loss of balance, reduced bladder control, as well as tingling extremities.
