Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Sternum,spine And Knees
Hi I am a 27 year old female and I've been having many problems for the last 4 years. It started with my sternum and I am now having a lot of pain in my spine and knees. I have now been told (1 year ago)i have mild scoliosis (which I haven't always had) and I have hypermobile joints. I have seen a scoliosis specialist and he has told me that it is mild and cannot be causing any of the problems hat I am experiencing.
When i was about 11 years old I had back pain and sciatica that stopped in my teenage years.
My ribs keep popping, my sternum sounds like it is tearing apart when I stretch which I needto do about 10-20 times a day now as it feels like my ribs are pulling together. my neck grinds and hurts, my shoulders keep popping as well as my knees and I get sporadic pain in all. My kneecaps have started to get stuck in the wrong position when I turn too quickly and the pain is excruciating. The left hand side of my jaw keeps popping and is also painful. The bottom of my spine keeps clicking as well as being constantly painful and it feel's like my neck is falling forward.
My mom has recently had mri scans of her coller bone and has found out thet her sternoclavical? joint has fell forward and is now protruding through her neck.
My dad has dislocated his shoulder and torn the ligaments in his knee.
I really feel like my skeleton is falling apart and I am getting nowhere fast with my own doctors, can you help? Lynette
