Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing intense deep pain discomfort in joints and also have many tender spots on my body such as elbows. Knees. On my ribs knees. Shoulders I also have a herniated disc at L5 and S1 and bone spur in bottom of left foot. My chiropractor says my neck curve is reversed and I have spinal stenosis and scoliosis. I did go to spoorts orthopedic and spine about the heel spur and that doctor say I have osteoarthritis. The chiropractor seems to think I may have fibromyalgia to. Pretty uncomfortable. During the night especially my shoulders have intense aching as so does many other parts of my body. To touch my arms and different places are very sore Who best can tell me what is going on. I am 55. Have always been healthy outside of severe endometriosis since in my early 20s. Not really sure which type of medical professional to go to. The doctor at sports orthopedic and spine gave me diclofenac 75 mg 2xd. It was like a miracle drug for me. Seems to be a lot going on. Notion to all of this I was in good shape. Running 3-5 days a week for over 10 years. The last 4 years I can t do much of anything. Bone spr in foot an then my back. Trying to get back to to my life
To address your problems you would need to see a rheumatologist and a pain management doctor. If you have underlying inflammatory disorder, a rheumatologist would be able to identify the problem and start you on a treatment regiment that could consist of steroids, NSAIDS and possibly pain medications.
Regarding your bone spur, bone spurs do not cause pain, its your calf muscle being too tight is what causing you pain. If your primary doctor can give you a referral for either physical therapy to improve your strength and flexibility in lower extremity to improve your heel pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Samuel Parmar
