ANY IDEAS, REALLY WEIRD SYMPTOMS

I have symptoms which are pretty hard to describe and i wonder if anyone else has had similar or knows what it is.

I suffer back pain, muscular and have done for years since i had a hysterectomy but doesn`t really bother me too much.

However, sometimes, tonight included i get a weird sensation which can only be described as like someone pouring ice cold water down my back and it spreads like a band from my back across my ribs and my stomach.

It builds up in waves of a cold gnawing ache which makes me feel very sickly and can last for days or hours.

At the moment it is very intense. I have been treated lately for my dr for shoulder strain on my left side and the muscles in my ribs on my left side are really being affected by this weird sensation.

I am taking naproxen but not helping.

I get more like a stinging. burning intense pain and a HEAVY feeling in my legs and arms. I do get the band of pain thing aroundback and ribs hurt like crazy.

Shoulders, arms unbeaable neck...I have it all.  All comes from spine, but noone seems to care as far as doctors.  SUrgery is risky so what to do?

Hi there!

This is a very unusual description of symptoms and I am not really sure what this could be. Likely possibilities that might be considered are infections/ inflammations, neuro-muscular/ spinal disorders, a few metabolic/ spinal disorders etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by your primary care physician and depending on the cause suspected/ diagnosed, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
