appreciate receiving reply from you regarding to stiffness while walking.
I have these same symptoms, I have Sickle cell Thalasemia Disease. The doctors say I have Degenerative Disc Disease. I'm missing cartilage at my S1-L5, protrusions at my L1-L5 and my C3-C5 and this is bone thinning on the left side of my neck. I have to wear a back brace while mobile at all times. Sometimes I can't walk etc.. etc. I'm about to start therapy. We'll see how that goes especially since I have no circulation in my hips. The more I deep breath from my diaphragm to try to get my blood pumping, the more pressure and pain I get in my thighs and hips. And standing for more than 5 minutes is awful. I think they should get my blood to circulating first, right?

hi,
i am having a similar issue...just recently pain developed in my legs......i did an mri which showed that the l4/5 discs were not present...the pain developed into a burning sensation in my inner thigh and it is so excruciating i can barely move or sit well or even sleep......the pain is killing me and i have eaten the most effective painkillers and what worries me the most is that they are NOT WORKING..is that even normal..i even had an anti depressant but it didn't work. I don't think it is sciatica because when the physic lifted up my leg there wasn't the usual sharp pain that sciatica patients suffer from..I am very worried and any advice or similar experiences and how you tackled them would help. The pain is now so consistent and is not going away. now it has further gone down my leg near my knee and i am feeling stiffness and weighty..what can i do
Was your vitamin D checked? It could also be celiac....
I know how this feels, my sympathies to you,I too have two legs that feel like concrete blocks, noone listens, I have just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism,hoping the levothyroxine will help.
Interesting post. I have had psoriasis since I was a kid and always got strep throat but still have my tonsils. I have always wondered if there was always low level infection in them. I always feel my best when on antibiotics. For years I had a jaw/tooth issue that always felt like it was floating in my mouth.I did have one tooth removed that they found already had a dead root. But I still had strange feelings in my jaw. We never did figure this out. Always been in good shape but it is getting harder for me too. ( muscles tightening) I may get blood levels checked for anemia.
Doctors always say it's in your head when they don't know what to do instead of admitting they don't know and the first thing they want to put you on is depression meds.
i have read all the symptoms you have all described in these posts. with your leg weakness and arms etc. do any of you have any eye problems also? i have your symptoms with eye problems and have Myasthenia Gravis. also get tested for Lupus. there are a possible 151 symptoms of Lupus which include all the ones mentioned here, good luck everyone.
