Nested Menu options does not respond when clicked

Question

I have a dilemma with my telegram bot. I was trying to prompt a response from my nested menu selection upon clicking it. However, it prompts an error saying: "Message is not modified: specified new message content and reply markup are exactly the same as a current content and reply markup of the message"

Is there something I missed out when triggering the respond? Still new to this, so pardon the novice question

def start(update, context):
    update.message.reply_text(main_menu_message(),
                              reply_markup=main_menu_keyboard())


def main_menu(update,context):
    query = update.callback_query
    context.bot.edit_message_text(chat_id=query.message.chat_id,
                                  message_id=query.message.message_id,
                                  text=main_menu_message(),
                                  reply_markup=main_menu_keyboard())


def first_menu(update, context):
    query = update.callback_query
    # print(context.match)
    context.bot.edit_message_text(chat_id=query.message.chat_id,
                                  message_id=query.message.message_id,
                                  text=first_menu_message(),
                                  reply_markup=first_menu_keyboard())



# and so on for every callback_data option
def first_submenu(update):
    update.message.reply_text("Use /start to test this bot.")

Seems like the Telegram Api isn't yet ready for this. They also wrote about it in the docs.

Please note, that it is currently only possible to edit messages without reply_markup or with inline keyboards.
