Abstract
Myalgia is a complaint associated with numerous medical conditions such as metabolic or hormonal abnormalities, toxic myopathies, tetanus, electrolyte disturbances, inflammatory diseases, and exertion-related pain. A diagnosis of tension myalgia or myofascial-type pain is often considered when no objective findings are seen in the evaluation. This is a report of a patient who was treated unsuccessfully for fibromyalgia for many years and who ultimately was diagnosed with a rare benign skeletal muscle metabolic disorder caused by myoadenylate deaminase deficiency. We discuss this enzyme deficiency and its importance for the physiatric community.
