I was told it was growing pains for years.An now I am told it could be an auto immune disease like M.S. or something.I had an M.R.I 3years ago and it was clean.I am tired of being sick an in so much pain.I could used all the advice an help I can get.I was very active as a child an teen even though it was very painful.Till I had my daughter in 2004 and my symptoms became much,much worse.
