 Posted: 11/07/06 - 17:39 Post subject: leg muscles have burning heaviness and stiffness- that cause |
  |
|
 I have trouble standing...because the muscles in both legs have burning pain tightness when I stand for too long...my legs become tight heavy-like dead weight-when I walk, and they stiffen up after sitting...so it is hard to get out of a chair...the doctors took blood tests and did not find anything...I also have constant stiffness and aching at the base of my spine, between my hips. Since 2005, I have been having joint stiffness in both hands and ankles, too. I went to a clinic, but the doctor ignored this. Could I have arthritis or spine problems?
I want to find another doctor...who diagnoses disability. What kinds of tests will they do? I am unable to get up, if I sit on the floor and have trouble climbing steps, also. And my knees are very sore and WEAK!
Since May 2006, I have been feeling nauseaus and dizzy, with numbness in my fingers, and dryness in my throat. I went back to the clinic, and saw a different doctor who said I had symptoms of an autoimmune disease, and she gave me prednisone, but I vomited...so she is sending me the hospital, to see yet another doctor...what should I expect him to do? |

What did the doctor at the hospital say? I seem to be having the same thing. I am worried about ALS. For me this started about 3 weeks ago and has been getting worse.

Hello,
I am having the same troubles as you...trouble standing too long...climbing...because burning/tingling almost electrical current running through my legs and arms..sore muscles.bones...most joints hurt...my legs also become tight heavy-like dead weight-when I walk, and they stiffen up after sitting as well...my doctor also took blood tests and did not find anything...They too first thought I had a acute arthritis(I'm only 39) and then ruled that out..next it was a virus..then ruled that out as it's not going away. They gave me and MRI of my spine and thorax and that showed up negative...and finally a spinal tap, also negative and that is suppose to rule out anything wrong with your brain. I've been doing alot of reading and it seems Candida Albicans(over abundance of yeast attacking the body) can cause these same symptoms as well as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. All which can be brought on by stress, too many anitbiotics and poor eating etc etc... Have you had anymore success with a diagnosis by your doctors? I would love to know as mine can't seem to get to the bottom of it all and quite frankly, I can't take much more of this. It's been almost two months now. Any help or advice? |

This could all be stress related of course, depression and stress does a number on our bodies...I had these same kind of symptoms and after having my GAD-65 antibody test (which was positive) I was given the awfully named diagnosis of Stiff Mans syndrome AKA stiff persons syndrome. Its a very real disease with a variety of out comes, check into it, its very rare, and most Neurologist have never seen it, some dont even recognize the name.

| Has a diagnosis of your symptoms been given to you yet? I have exactly the same symptoms and it's awful, especially not have any health insurance a this time. |

| To the Guest who posted on 11/007/06 - have you been diagnosed yet? I have the same symptoms and they are driving me crazy. I also have no health insurance so it's been difficult. |
