She is having muscle problems, apparently she cant walk properly because of cramps and severe pain, i thought this was a symptom of muscle loss as u age ofc and maybe deficiency is proteins. Guess what, after a scan, the doctors said her muscles were too thick and dense and enlarged in her thighs, guess why? its because of too much creatine build up in muscle, her creatine levels are extremely high which is causing this symptom, i have never seen someone having too much creatine bro how?

To make it short : Kidneys near to fail = overproduction of creatinine (derivated from creatine) who lead to huge water retention inside the muscle fibers, who can be handicaping

When we do a blood test we check the creatinine levels to see any kidneys problems

Yeah basically when kidneys can't evacuate the water and it ends up stocked in lower body muscles, it's really bad news
It is what killed my mom, double kidneys failure

n***a are you actually a doctor what

Guess we will never know

im so sorry to hear that. I dont know much about that either. thats shocking though.

i think fixing her diet, and basically avoiding anything else that harms one's kidneys, might really help her. i hope things get better and im glad the doctors identified that

i assume drinking tons of water would be good too, like when you take it in its powder form

No, hydration should come from blood perfusions only. Drinking more water than usual will just tiring out the kidneys, as they already fail to evacuate the water inside OP's great-aunt lower body

You’re mixing dietary creatine with Creatinine I think, this is probably called Uremic myopathy but Idrk tbh
