Hello, In terrible pain left side only, shooting pain in left arm and leg with weakness.

I don't know where else to turn. I'm in the Pittsburgh area if anyone knows a good doctor please chime in.

am I allowed to discuss medications?
 
Omg the two spots between shoulder blades hurts sooo freaking bad. Pain doctor not helping enough
 
If you can, take your blood pressure, if it's high get to a Dr. If you start to have pain in your jaw, along with arm, that's nothing to play with.
 
blood pressure is high, pulse is high, heart rate is 120 bpm. for the past week. pain getting worse but no pain in face jaw or headaches. all my pain is from left shoulder down to left ankle.

I take 10mg Percocet 4 times a day
800mg neurotin 3 times a day
klonopin 1mg 3 times a day.
fetzima 40mg once a day.

I have been bi-polar my whole life with severe panic attacks.
I'm just a mess. now this fibromyalgia which hurts so bad I'm on the floor screaming in pain most of the day. I'm also disabled for bi-polar.

I would do anything is this world to make the pain stop.

every doctor I go to says you got fibromyalgia and pain medicine is not the answer. you have to live with it pretty much. Been to neurologist, rheumatologist, spine specialist had ct scan and mri of head and all 3 parts of spine have 6 slightly bulging disc no stenosis or brain problems. Had EMG on left arm they found nothing, had the auto immune test ANA and all the panels that go with it and all normal.

these doctors around here soon as you mention pain they are in a rush to get you out of their office. Its like they are refusing to treat me. Pain doctor don't even act like he's listening to me. just says same prescription. I beg him to tell me where else or what else can I do to stop this.
Another thing my L1 S5 disc is out so bad its ready to rupture. I cant stand linger than 30 seconds then I must sit the pain gets so bad.
 
toxichaven,

sounds like you have lots of challenges besides the fibro. i am so sorry for the amount of pain that you are in. i can relate to feeling like practitioners are not listening to you. it's very frustrating and sad. what do the docs say about the potential rupturing disc? that has to be horribly painful.
 
Thanks for reply. MRI shows no pinched nerves from disc. But the L5 S1 disc is bulging badly ready to rupture I cant stand or walk longer than a minute without screaming pain. I just always have to make sure a seat is around me at all times lol. I'm bi-polar take psych meds I'm actually disabled because of it, Now I got fibromyalgia lol. oh and I have panic disorder where I cant leave the house often. So the anxiety, and sleepless stacks on my already disabling anxiety and insomnia. I guess you could call me a vegetable that can still move his limbs.
