Muscles, Tendons, nerves and ateries glued together

Does any have this type of symptom?  I feel like everything is glued together under my skin. Is this possible and if so how do you fix it?  Its felt this way since I was 17yrs old and I am 34yrs old now.  Massage therapy relieves it for a day or two then it feels the same after that.  My skin is painful to touch especially down the side of the arms and thighs.

I have also developed a severe sensory sensitivity.  Sounds, touch, smell and taste are all heighten sound and touch being the worst.  I still get the random hot and cold patches all over my body that has never changed.

I am just looking to see if anyone out there gets these same symptoms and how they got relief because I cant afford a massage everyday.

I know doctors are supposed to be there for support and I think because there are so many diseases and infections out there that they really dont have a lot of knowledge and they dont keep up to date with their education. So when a patient comes in and challenges them on something or mentions something they never thought of they get their back up and you are now the patient who is an attention seeker and you are made to feel like crap.  

Its enough to make you want to jump off a building!!! LOL

The Best Doctors thing sounds really good.
I've had doctors tell me the same thing yours did.
One doctor is a keynote speakers from the ILADS! He told me testing would be a waste of time. I could find a disease and treat myself and it could be something else making me sick.
I never went back and when I was diagnosed with the Lymes I wrote him a "shame on you" letter.
Arghhh!

Thats awesome to hear :) My doctor just looked at me and said "You dont have lyme" there is no test for it she told me. She is a whack job. I told her I also wanted to be tested for food intolerances and I would be paying out of my pocket all I wanted was the referral and she told me again its a waste of money and wouldnt give me the referral.  She is annoying me LOL.

My BF doctor  has no problem testing me so I will do the Canadian blood one for now just for the lyme and then get the complete lyme one done after the results come back pos or neg. Then hopefully a couple of months after that I can finally do the co-infection one.

I am sick and tired of doctors pushing me around. On my work insurance we have this thing called best doctors. They gather all your information from the last 10 yrs or whatever they can pull and they look through all the information and send all the tests/xrays/ct scan results, mri etc to Harvard in the US and they look through it all. They then pass it to the best doctors to figure out what they think the problem is. Then they send me back a page report on what they think the issues are.

I am curious to see what they think or if it is more of wasted time for me.

I think the main things I need looked at or re looked at is Lyme, scoliosis, Celiac, addison's disease, and at this moment I cant think but there are more.

I know I have TMJ and that could involve the spine, I know that I have endometriosis that also could involve the spine. the spine and endo both can effect the bowels and bladder, and all together they all can cause Anxiety and panic attacks.  All the neurological symptoms as well could be the spine.  However I am tired of playing this guessing game if you know what i mean.

I have researched for over 18yrs. I diagnosed myself and the stage of Endometriosis after being told it was all in my head over and over again. I went back to my surgeon for the third time this year and he told me I dont have endo its Neuropathic pain syndrome. Man do they ever like to throw out names when they think they are the best surgeons in the world or that they dont want to make you feel crazy any more than you already feel.

I will have to add that to my long list of symptoms, diagnoses and syndromes LOL.

You make it worth all the talking on here. I am sooo glad you are tending to the tests to rule out the Lymes and other diseases!,
My daughter has been sick for years with many symptoms, mostly vertigo like, but also mycoplasma symptoms that mimic mine.
She is staying with me for a few days and we went to my Lyme/Neuro doctor yesterday and is getting all the Igenix labs done!!!

Totally true. I am getting that testing done and I have the kit. Its the matter of having the money to get it done. The complete lyme I have the money for but for the remainder for the complete co-infection I dont have it right now and my doctor signed off on both to be done. I should have printed off two copies. She isnt the nicest of doctors.

Yup.
I cannot say I understand the glued together under the skin feeling but all the others I have.
Massage was Always a temporary fix. I bought an electric stim massager which works in certain areas at a time. It is great on FM trigger points to relieve the tension and on knotted muscles.
I heard Infrared massagers are good too. The only thing I found to be a problem with handheld massagers is my arm hurts from holding the massager lol.
The heightened sensitivity your experiencing is all neurologica. I had them for years and then they changed to different Neuro symptoms.
Please remember, I was diagnosed with FM and found that Lymes, Babesia, EBV and Mycoplasma coincideded with the FM. So which came first?
The symptoms are the same for both. Is it Lymes that cause these symptoms, definitely, is it FM?
We have to ask ourselves, is FM a symptom or a diagnosis?
