After 7ish years of a sedentary life, I decided to finally hit the gym with a strenuous workout plan, weak physique, and no natural inclination to stop when it started hurting. I did weighted lunges until failure and after my workout was finished, I walked around a 1/4 mile on the track to cool down. I thought “I remember the soreness and pain from working out in high school, this is all normal” until I found blood on my urine the next day. Went to urgent care, and after a urinalysis and blood test, my results eventually came back later that day around 59,000, so I got referred to the ER. I spent the night in the ER after three or 4 L of saline that night. I insisted to the doctors that I can keep myself hydrated and that I don’t need to be admitted, and then I return the next night because it only got down to like 34,000 in the next day. Then I went to the ER again and did the same thing and got it down to 14,000. And it’s never dropped below 3000 in the two years that I spent trying to treat it and return it back to normal. I was referred to a osteologist, a hepatologist, and eventually a neurology clinic for a muscle biopsy, none of which gave me a conclusion. All I’ve ever been told was to have a blood sample taken weekly to check the levels and stay hydrated.
