The objective of this study was to discuss a comprehensive yet cost-effective approach to working up active duty patients with recurrent rhabdomyolysis. A 36-year-old male Army recruit was evaluated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for recurrent rhabdomyolysis. This case illustrates a practical and cost-effective approach to this goal. Questions along the way are meant to highlight military relevance and expand diagnostic considerations of muscle pain beyond the usual. The case takes an interesting twist and reinforces that, as providers, we must explore every aspect of our patient's history to the fullest to be effective diagnosticians.
