question: For about 8 weeks, I have been experiencing an aching pain in my arm muscles, particularly the upper arm. Paracetamol does not help much, neither does my TENS machine. Heat packs give some relief, but the aching returns. I have had blood tests for Barmah Forest virus and Polymyalgia Rheumatica. In 1996, I contracted Ross River Virus. My GP dismisses the aching as age-related - I am 65. Is it worth getting a second opinion, or would I just be wasting a medical professional s time?
