Severe weakness in the arms and legs can occur with myasthenia gravis, but pain is not a direct symptom of the condition. Weak muscles may lead to changes in movement or posture, which can strain joints and cause discomfort. If you're experiencing this, it's important to discuss it with your doctor to rule out other causes Show Full Answer

I recently was recently diagnosed with General MG. I had severe swallowing, speech, and eating issues to start with. I am on Prednisone, Mestinon and recently Cellcept. My speech and swallowing issues have subsided mostly but my Quads and forearms have deteriorated with muscle weakness about a month ago and it's made it difficult from a different perspective. I'm waiting a Vyvgart infusion treatment to start in February.and hope it will help these symptoms.I'm still trying to move forward and do the treadmill, floor stretches, and light weights. Looking forward to trying to walking outside once the warm weather comes to see if that helps too.

When my general MG I had severe weakness which lead to pain, not because I believe it is MG, but it is a side occurrence. That said, it still follows MG and it was hard to deal with the pain as well as the fatigue.

I have not experienced pain as a direct result of MG but do suffer with pain sometimes as a result of having to compromise my posture due to the weakness in my legs.

I need a hip replacement and I have AS so some times it’s hard for me to put my hand on what’s MG and what isn’t.
