help for pain

I started with pain to touch on right side of spine and now very sore to touch on only top part of legs. Also, started having headaches on right side.  They have tried Cymbalta and now Savella and it doesn't seem to be working.  The soreness to touch is getting worse.  Is there something I could suggest to the dr. to try?

Hi,
How are you? What diagnostic tests were done already? The pain in your back and leg could be due to neurological issues as well and imaging studies like a CT scan or MRI may help identify the possible cause. A complete neurological examination is also important. There are a variety of migraine medications and it may take several tries for you to determine the best medicine suited for you. Take care and do keep us posted.

My neurologist said he would not do test after I told him also dizzy and forgetting things.  He said it was stress.  Also, my "pcp"  is treating me for fibromyalgia as far as my legs go.  Had tried Cymbalta now on Savella.

Should I go back to the neurologist?  Dizzy, forgetting things, headaches every day especially on right side even into ear.  Just really tired and feel like I'm getting nowhere.  My family is very frustrated.  I have 3 kids that I can't even be a good mom to because of the pain.
