Hi
First , do a DBCC CHECKDB([MyDB]) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS
see if this returns anything, and check error log
Second , check if a Full backup works

You need to do some root cause analysis. Something corrupted the log. Look for IO-related errors, out of date firmware, etc. Before the corruption hits in your data file.

System event log, RAID logs, SAN logs, etc, etc. Speak to your storage admin or server admin.
