Hi I know this is not a health forum so to speak but just thought id ask if anyone has ever had anything similar Ive been getting pains in my knee caps in my ankles and toes for a few weeks now Im also getting bad arm pain in both arms, they fill weak/numb they also feel achy almost bruised feeling Bending my fingers hurt. I get shooting pains all over my arms. Fingers and toes feel tingling I am very sensitive to pain all over in pressing in this areas Ive had severe upper back pain for a week now in the centre going in to both shoulder blades and to chest, its the worse pain ive ever had, But if I lye or sit in right position it can be okay but when I move or do something to trigger it then its painful for a while

Hi OP,
How old are you?

Do you have any chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, blood pressure? All under control as far as you know?

Have you started any new medicine/ exercise regime in the last few weeks?

Has anyone close to you had any infections? Covid?

When you say certain positions are ok, others trigger it, does it make a difference of you lie on your left or right side?

Honestly? I'd speak to a doctor/ health hotline (I'm not in UK so not sure of current NHS services) and get your heart checked, amongst other things.

If it's truly the worst pain you've ever had, and it's making your arms feel week/ numb, is worth checking. It may be a trapped nerve in your back, but that doesn't explain the knees and toes.

It could well be a virus, but it could be something more interesting.

I know seeing a doctor is a nightmare at the moment, but I wouldn't put this off.

Equally, it's the middle of the night, so please don't let me freak you out 😊

I would ask a Dr about that it could be so many things
