Hello everyone,
I really don't know what to think of my condition so I'm looking for a little insight I guess.A few years back I discovered I couldn't sleep in my bed without getting up in radiating pain and stiffness in the middle of my back .After being up for a few hours the pain would go away and I was fine the rest of the day.As time went on sleeping in a bed was quite painful after just a few hours and after and during the purchase of 4 different beds to find one I could sleep in. I spent my nights on the sofa.Then I began feeling as though I couldn't get rested and was purely exhausted wether I'd slept 8 hrs or 4 it felt the same and it continued to get worse. April 2014 I end up with the worst pain in my neck .An MRI revealed I had 2 herniated disk,The pain went away after a few weeks and I figured it was healed.Aug 2014 my son got hurt and ended up in a wheelchair for a few months .In the beginning lifting the 30 lb wheelchair in and out of my trunk several times a day was ok but it wasn't long until it became real painful and the pain only got worse .Painful stabbing burning pain at the base of my neck down the middle of my back and down my arms.The pain was insane and not a pain med would help.My doctor sent me for a epidural in my neck one month and then injection in my neck the next month that made the pain even worse.As of now I still have pain everyday mostly burning pain in my arms ( seem to get a little relief if I try to stretch my arms but it is painful to stretch)and sciatic pain That just started a week ago)that goes down both legs and into my ankles That comes and goes .Last night my sciatica pain was horrible and tonight its not .I have most recently started with joint pain in my elbows ,knees and ankles as well .Ive read everyone seems to have different symptoms but I wonder about what you all think.Ive been to a few docs including a rummy and a neurologist and nothing. Does this sound like fibro ?or nerve compression from my neck ? I wondered if I hurt my neck worse from lifting the wheelchair .I know this sounds like a mess.ty all
