I've been struggling with pain for nearly 2 years now and it's constant. Some days are worse than others. The pain is all up my spine, in my ribs cage, hips, pelvis and sides. My sides mostly hurt when I move in bed and lay on my side. My neck also hurts when laying down to go to sleep.
I also get 'fluttery' feelings in the upper right side of my chest. It's not heart related as I've had it checked but it's almost like a muscle vibrating. I don't know how else describe it.
My skin has become very pale, to the point where it almost looks transparent and my veins are visible all over. I did read this could be a medication side effect though. I'm on Sertraline, Propranolol and Omeprazole.
I've also developed multiple lumps under my skin. They are like fatty lumps but they are tender when pressed. Patches over my body feel bruised when pressed but nothing there. I have a large lipoma in my stomach. Last measured it was 4cm but it's got bigger and I have another one next to it. Ultrasound says it's a Lipoma and nothing cancerous.
I've had an MRI on my spine which showed degenerative disc disease and bulging discs. Had a chest X-ray which shows everything is fine with lungs and chest. No masses or anything.
I often feel exhausted and drained. Some days I barely have any energy to stay out of bed for longer than a couple of hours but other days I'm fine. Blood tests last October came back with low folate. Been taking supplements.
I often feel dizzy and unbalanced. I also suffer with anxiety.
I should probably go back to the doctors but does this sound familiar to anyone else? Could it be fibro or is it more likely to be something serious?
