Consequences of lack of treatment
The most unpleasant symptoms of myositis are muscle tension, as well as severe pain. In mild cases, after a few days, the pain syndrome subsides or disappears altogether, however, under the influence of various adverse factors (for example, physical exertion or cooling), relapses of the disease may occur.
In addition, myositis can progress. After some time, all new muscles will be involved in the inflammatory process, which is especially dangerous with cervical myositis, since inflammation can affect the muscles of the larynx, pharynx, and esophagus. As a result, it will be difficult to swallow food, coughing attacks will appear. In the case when the respiratory muscles are involved in inflammation, shortness of breath will appear. As a result, the muscles that are affected by myositis atrophy.
During the course of the disease, calcium salts may also be deposited, which are present in a large volume, which will cause the patient a lot of inconvenience and uncomfortable sensations.
