I have had major back pain followed by pains in many parts of my body (physio said not connected to my back) - upper shoulders, calfs, wrists, thighs, etc., very painful and I am drugged up with Ibruprofen and Anadin. This has been going on since February when I moved house.

My physio said it is more like polymyalgia rheumatica than from my back. I have now found that a blood test I had in February showed high red cells (22) which I am told is only marginally up? What can be wrong with me the pain is so intense?
