Muscle problems


So, it has been a while since I have updated this blog. I gave up on AIO about 3 months ago. While it did seem to help depression, it didn't do anything miraculous for my pain or the muscle hypertrophy.
My rheumatologist sent me to a Muscle and Nerve specialist, who only ran 3 blood test, and sent me on my merry way. Yes, he agreed I have muscle hypertrophy, but thinks it is a myostatin disorder and said that doesn't have a recognized test and doesn't cause pain...thanks for nothing. If it doesn't cause pain, then it isn't my issue, since I am in severe pain all the time...not a pain free day since 99. So, I am again just left to flounder. I don't believe my muscles are getting bigger,but instead more defined. I look like I have been lifting weights. Today is a high pain day. I go to the rheumy today and have no doubts it will be a waste of time...but I don't want to give up on finding a cure...hoping one day it snaps and they say I have thus and so and here is how you fix it. Until then, I wait. I have attached a pic of my leg. Crazy defined.
