Hi There,

Please help...I am a 33 year old feamlae (mother of 2) who has always been healthy up until the last 2 and a half years. It all began when I started to get pinching sensations throughout the lining of my chest walls. Several Chest X-rays/bloodwork have been done with no findings. I now experience sharp shooting and burning pains in my head EVERYWHERE. the pain is not localized at all. Some days are worse than others and range from happening from 10-25 times a day. An head MRI was complete with finding of Sinnusitis. I have seen an ENT who says the pain in the head is not related to Sinnusitis. I am now experiencing sharp shooting pain in my shoulder blades. It lasts for approx 5-10 seconds and then it dimminishes. Another symptom I have is a burning sensation that is interminent through different areas in my body? Sometimes arms, legs etc. Again..last a few seconds and then dimminishes. My doctor just recently completed a bone scan that shows very very mild spot of arthritis. My doctor is at a lose...and says he truly doesn't know what this could be and is sending me to a neurologist to determine if it is neurological? Can you please offer your reccomendations and/or thoughts? I am desperate at this point because it has been going on much to long. I thank you for your time in reading this!

im a 5 month sufferer i finaly might has a prob found a mri and spine xray will prove me right . slip disk in neck take ibeprofen if not given owt stronger for the buring as for the shooting pains sit straight dont twist or turn your lower back or neck rap a towl round ur neck to limit movement., dont move in to pain. btw do you some time get a feeling in the left or right or both side or ur upper neck behind ears base of skull, feel like u have a golf ball there?.. ow and try massarge ur shoulders at the base of ur neck tht eases pain any where from 10 to 20 mins. i have good days like to day 2days i had a little to none pain ... but any day from to day it will be back and i will be sat again with my head in my hands. may not make sence as i have double vision right now so any thing not clear  ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use

btw its not anxiety

I am sorry you are all having so much pain, and sympathize because I have been in so much pain myself for nearly 4 years. Wish I had some great findings for you all but I don't. I've seen so many Drs, referred to a rheumatologist who couldn't find any specific diagnosis so he said it was fibromyalgia and prescribed Gabapentin which I had side effects. So I am now taking Lyrica which is for nerve pain. I have severe all over pain; every day is a different location. Feet and leg spasms, burning pain, jump out of bed, shooting shoulder pain radiating down to my arm and elbow, feels like needle pricks. Above posts mention Anxiety and stress quite a bit. I wouldn't dismiss that because stress really makes any condition worse, but in my honest non professional opinion, I think this would be secondary to whatever is causing the pain to begin with. I've had an anxiety condition since high school, but this pain only started a few years ago, so I think you may want to consider seeing either a rheumatologist or a neurologist for testing to rule out Rheumatoid Arthritis, fibromyalgia, nerve damage, even Lupus. Anti inflammatory medications are just temporary, but if you hurt that much, you'll try just about anything, even steroid shots that hurts like I can't describe! Definately NO fun, before or after. Well, that was me, sure everyone tolerates different. Last week I had one, and this time around actually feel worse than before the shot. You're only supposed to get like 3-4 per year is what Dr tells me. I am also getting physical therapy once a week. I feel so defeated with these never ending burning shooting pains intermittently all the time. I am scheduled for an EMG nerve study test in a couple of weeks, will post my results. Hope you all consider seeing a specialist. I wouldn't say it's just anxiety, And don't be afraid to try an anti inflammatory, they help a bit. I feel you, same pain here, God Bless!

Have you had an MRI of the neck?

I understand how annoying this can be because I have same symtoms & doctors tell me they just have no idea what this could be. I have seen 2 different neurologist, a spine surgeon/orthopedist,
. They don't think the back, feet & legs could be connected. They say feet & leg is neuropathy although I didn't have the feet & leg problem until I had the first pain in my shouderblade when the pain was so severe I ended up in the hospital & my BP was in the 200's.

I have buzzing in my head with sensations of lightning shooting through, and sharply buzzing. Will I have migraines now?
