Hi I Ve Always Had A Painful Sensation In My

Question: Hi

I've always had a painful sensation in my body since I was a child. I refer to the pain as "growing pain" while I am not growing anymore with me being 28 years old then it's not from actual growing. But the pain is the same.

I usually get it in one of my legs and occasionally in one of my arms. It's a lingering pain that is worst when I don't move my leg/arm and sit still or lie down. Moving the leg usually helps a bit with the pain and painkillers are effective too. Most of the time they come and remain for the rest of the day and sometimes they persist overnight and remain also into the next day.

I think they can happen out of nowhere, but mainly they happen either from prolonged sitting but not always coming. Or they happen after standing up or walking a lot the same day. It's very aching and quite annoying and makes it hard to both rest and move around with and I don't like taking painkillers for every small ache, but it seems to be the only thing that helps except time.

What is this pain I experience?
What is causing it?
Can I prevent it or do something about it?

I don't know many who experience the same thing.

Thank you for your answer doctor.

I am having quite some other symptoms too which may or may not be related to this.

I know it's not your field, but I have an echochardiogram this week because I also experience irregular hearbeats in episodes that last 4-6 hours, not frequently but they come maybe once a month or so. Usually they are happening few hours after I participate in physical activity or exercise. I also struggle with back pain and poor posture from this.

Could it be connected? I especially hear you mentioning the vitamin and electrolytes. I have had many tests done this summer for gastro related issues IBS. And in there my blood numbers were good, but liver, vitamin and electrolyte has not been tested.
