Hello everyone,
I'm a 16 year old girl from Germany and here's my story:
About 2 years ago I suddenly got very sick - as in feeling like there's too much air inside my body, having constipation or diarrhea along with circulation problems.
When it didn't get any better, I went through several tests including a gastroscopy.
The results were always negative, the doctors " didn't know how to help me" and sent me home. Eventually all this got better and I was fine again.
Fast forward to September 2013. Suddenly the exact same symptoms come back, it was terrible, but got better at around December. On December 23rd I suddenly felt a weird "pulling - pain " in one of my fingers. I didn't think much of it, but it gradually got worse.
Over the next 2 weeks both my hands started hurting (it's not as much of a pain as it is an annoyance). I went to a doctor who told me that "nothing was wrong" and that I should go straight to the hospital if it got worse. Well, it did.
My arms were next, then my legs. But most of the pain was still in my hands and fingers.
I went to the hospital and they did a CT, Nerve conduction velocity test and an ultrasound of my hands. The result? Absolutely nothing.
So they sent me back home, saying it was "possibly carpal tunnel syndrome" which was already eliminated through the ultrasound, but whatever I guess
I went to a physiotherapist and started taking medicinal clay, and it got better.. or so I thought.
Last week it suddenly came back and it is worse than before. My hands are hurting so much I just want to cry all the time.
The pain i experience feels like someone is pulling something inside my fingers/hands/arms, sometimes it's a pulsating kind of feeling, sometimes it feels like someone is stabbing me with small needles, sometimes it feels like the pain spreads from my wrist area into my fingers.
I don't know what to do anymore, I feel like every test there is will be negative.
I read about fibromyalgia when my hand first started to hurt but didn't consider it possible since I'm still young and at that point it hadn't happened in random intervals - but now I start to think that fibromyalgia is what I have.
Has anyone had similar experiences or could tell me if my symptoms sound like I have fibromyalgia? Possibly what I can do to control the pain ?
I'm just very lost right now
