My symptoms....inflammatory pain in the knees and thighs and feet and ankles. (Both sides). tingling and numbness in the arm, hand and fingers mostly left side. Memory loss, brain fog, can't get my words from my brain and out my mouth. FRUSTRATING! Headaches in the front of forehead (dull) and pressure pain that is very painful to the touch and can be intensive when "episode" comes on. Recent skin rash on lower back, stomach, hips and thighs. Recent dry mouth when waking. Fatigue. Anxiety. Hard to walk at times bc of the pain. Hard to move when waking in the bed and trying to be able to move to walk first thing. Personal...at times hard to make it to the bathroom in time and have trickled (out of bladder control not bc of walking and making it there in time).
I have so far seen an orthopedic for my one ankle and foot and they think it could be tendinitis and got new balance shoes...still pain and now the other side as well has started. Also seen orthopedic another time bc of the pain, swelling and inflammation in one knee/thigh and in the midst of seeing a new group for second opinion due to this guy wanted to jump into surgery on me. Anyhow...I now have the same pain on the other knee /thigh that's just recent. (Waiting on referrals to see new orthopedic).BTW...have had x-rays and mri on left knee and no tumors by one Dr and then multiple tumors by another Dr. Also have
seen a neurologist...have had an mri of my brain and they found that towards the lower region there are abnormal vessels there. Sent me to get an EEG done and still waiting on results from that bc they also want to do a neurological exam but I had to cancel that appt last week due to trying to get a referral to the Dr that does that exam. Now I won't be able to get in for it at least till April.
So here I sit patiently but frustrated since the start of all my pain since about July and some of these symptoms started early 2015 and some are more recent. It's like nothing goes away bUT more keep on coming. So I was curious as I come across this link to see what type of medical info I may aquire to see of my futher diagnosis since I feel like I don't have any answers yet! I'd appreciate your your input and hopefully some answers that can point me in the right direction!
Thanks Sarah
