Rhabdomyolysis .
I do like the way you spelt it though OJJ, That would describe muscle damage caused by rehabilitation
I had it myself from statins, crestor in particular. Unfortunately it took me a while to recognize what was going on.
First statin I ever used, the sides were discussed with both my Dr and Pharmacist. They both described it a very rare and presenting in a localized area like a quadricep or bicep and pretty painful. "Very dangerous, watch out for it". I think it took a few months to show up.
I didn't clue in because it came on like the flue but iirc I had no fever. Very sore from head to toe, headache, dizziness weak as fuck. Not what i would have called "pretty painful" though, tough to say where my pain tolerance rates, lifting hard, playing hard and many surgeries affect that I think . Worst "Flu" I ever had by a country mile. Every day popping that lil pill.
After 2 weeks in bed the wife put her foot down and we were off to the walk in clinic. Quickly from there to emerg. Spent 3? days in the hospital. IV's and shit, talk of dialysis.
When family Dr came back I saw him for a follow up and when he saw the bloodwork he was very upset they didn't put me on dialysis or some other better treatment than what they gave me, again my memory fails me. Kidneys took a bit of a beating which is permanent. For at least three months I felt really rough, probably 7-8 before I felt pretty much normal. I was not training in those days but certainly lost some mass and strength, probably a little something to do with how I've never been able to fully regain my youthful build or strength completely.
@animal-inside hope this helps some, sorry to ramble on, hoping the detail might help you. IMO get the BW right away simply for the purpose of possibly identifying the cause. I don't think you need to stay on to get it, again don't trust my memory but I believe the test detects the presence of the stuff that leaked out of your muscle cells and the kidneys are having to cleanup. (Rhabdo is the cell walls disintegrating, releasing all the goop inside and then collapsing into something like useless scar tissue)
One more time - supposedly it almost never presents the way it did with me and please fact check everything I said my memory sucks and this was a long time ago their may be new data
