High ACTH...plz

Hello dear doctor or doctors or everyone that can help me….

( first of all sorry for my bad English coz I am Iranian & PERSIAN )

I have a very hard pain & disease for more of five years that each time I tried to resolve my problem by referring many doctors I faced with failure

First of all let me tell my problem :

Five years ago I sensed a little pain in the lower right part of my waist
( and nowadays with some research about my high ACTH Hormone I think its from my adernal gland )

Then my whole body pains grows during time & I faced with many body disorders like : pain in neck ; pain in all sections of my backbone ; & finally the most annoying pain that I got by this situation was the extreme pain in my leg & totally in lower part of my body ( limbs )

( including massive pain in surface of my foot ( I don’t know the phrase here but I mean the part of human foot that can walk based on it AND stand on it !!!! )

Today after 5 years of this condition ; the most harassing pain that entirely ruined my normal life is this ABNORMAL & unbearable foot pain ….

I cant even walk a tiny street without hard pain of my leg !

In fact I have this leg pain all the time & the only times that i have not this pain is when I am in bed …

Sometimes when I move my backbone and other parts of my body I sense my skeletons are breaking and or really they are breaking I don’t know exactly! ( making a tick sound or something like that )

Also I always have a massive nervous pressure; particularly in my head & heart …

During this five years I got some eye & vision disorders that I am not sure about relation between this condition & my main sickness

With more time passing I sensed depression & other mental disorders …

At the end of this help request ; I must say that I visited dozens of doctors in my country but all of them sent me to wrong path & always had poor knowledge about this matter …

For better results and complete understanding of doctors here. I scanned my last LAB TESTS & uploaded them on internet ; please take a look at them and guide me to a solution if you can !

There is some abnormal test results in this report particularly about ACTH hormone that is extremely high in my tests …

For the sake of god please help me & find me a cure …
I am in a very bad condition & can not continue my annoying life & everyday asking god for ending my life …

I was able to open the files.
Well, right now you do not know if it is pituitary or adrenal. Your cortisol was normal (I could not tell what time it was taken) but it was in the middle of the range.

Both tests should be done over and over. As well, GH was suppressed - that is a pituitary hormone - that would make me more suspicious of pituitary rather than adrenal. As well, high cortisol would suppress growth hormone.

It would also make sense to be pituitary as it may impact your eyes. It would also effect your mood. But so does adrenals - so you need to see a good endocrinologist.

I would get more pituitary hormones checked - as well as a pituitary MRI. An eye exam.
