Help! whats wrong with me?

[pinkdinosaur]

started 3 weeks ago with back pain and pain shooting down my left leg in to my left calf.

Dr said muscle pain and prescribed tramadol and naproxen. had MRI and it was clear.

last week had a really bad cold but got over it very quickly.

this morning i woke up hardly able to move joint pain everywhere in ankles knees back elbows and neck.

felt so dizzy and crazy fatigued like i have never felt so tired before.

DH was so worried phoned Dr and was seen but no temp no blood pressure problems so not a virus suggested it could be refered pain from my back??? anyone had this???

feel ok ish just so very tired and have slept so much but still shattered and can barely move having to crawl to bathroom and to bed.

anyone had anything like this?? what is it?

thanks for any help or advice

sorry posted on mobile app and has missed out all the paragraphs!!

I had similar when I was pregnant. It wasnt anything serious but they thought it might be my heart initially so maybe ask your Dr to check your heart?

Btw when I was pregnant it was just referred pain and sciatica. An osteopath helped, I haven't had it since.

I've had horrible pain from my back. Pains in leg, from hip to ankle, are very often sciatic: an inflammation in the back presses on the sciatic nerve. And my lower back pain causes lots of tension, which leads to muscle aches and spasms all over. But if you're feeling ng fluey and exhausted as well it could be a sign of an underlying chronic condition. I'd make an appointment with another doctor for a second opinion, and take a clear list of all your symptoms, severity and timing. Keep at them.

thank you for the reply

Dr said to only come back if things get worse! not sure how they could!! i am crawling around

hate this feeling of been so tired and hurting

plus i can not sleep even though i am soo shattered and googling symptoms is not helping me worry less

Could it be sciatica and just a virus?

Posted soon....joint pain sounds like it may be post viral transient synovitis?

Obviously I'm not a doctor!

no virus (dr was very clear on that!) also dont feel poorly poorly just sooo very fatigued and hurting at the joints that i can hardly move

Try get yourself to a chiropractor tomorrow if possible, sciatica is awful so certainly could be referred pain. I'm on day 3 of sciatica, a fairly usual occurrence for me, if no better by the morning I'm on the chiros hit list lol

Sciatica with referred pain? Enough to wipe anyone out.

@Mu123 so sorry your in the same sciatica hell!

god its awful!

Its usually my sacroilliac joint thats fucked, so a pain down the leg/foots a rare treat

There's a website that has good exercises for sciatic pain, spinehealth?
