Hi everyone,
I'm 31 female and I've been suffering with acid reflux, digestion issues, and anxiety for the past 3 years. Lately I've had more symptoms to add to my bad health. I'm experiencing pain in my lower right leg and I'm wondering if it's related to fibromyalgia. I haven't been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I'm waiting until I receive my health insurance to go see a doctor. About a week ago I started having cramping pain in my front thigh on one leg and then 2 days later it moved to my calf and I've had the pain ever since. The pain came out of nowhere. Sometimes the pain moves to the side of the calf or almost to my ankle. As someone prone to bad health anxiety, I'm getting very worried that it might be something serious like a blood clot (after searching google for leg pain!) but I have no swelling, warm skin, or risks of blood clots. Plus, sometimes I get stinging pain in my arms and the other leg, as well as tightness in my wrists and ankles on both sides but it's not constant like in my calf. I experienced the tightness in my wrists before and numbness in my hands (about a year ago) but not right now. For those with fibromyalgia, I'm wondering if predominant pain in one leg could be fibromyalgia? 2 years ago I went to several doctors with my stomach issues and I had to cope on my own because they kind of gave up on diagnosing me or giving me the treatment that would make me feel better. Hence why I am ambivalent to see any doctor now. I feel like once I tell a doctor that I have anxiety they don't take my symptoms seriously anymore. Last month I got married, moved to a new place, and started a new job, and while I am generally happy, perhaps all these changes and the stress that comes along with them are causing these symptoms. Wish I had some relief because when my digestion pain subsides some other kind of pain seems to come along!
Thanks for any input you might have! I'm getting weary of bothering my friends with all my health problems.
