Leg and arm pain

This has been going on for months, I have strong pain in my arms and legs.  The pain lasts seconds, but happens up to 15 times a day, although some days it doesn't happen at all.  I am fairly healthy, and I am 22 years old.  I told my doctor and she said I was to young for it to be anything serious and I shouldn't worry about it.  I'm worried!  It seems to be getting worse and it happens more often.  Anyone have any ideas?

Hi There,

Is the pain like

1) pins and needles?
2) does your arm and leg goto sleep ever?
3) Or is it a sharp pain that runs for a few seconds only.

* Is it worse at night when your relaxinf in bed?

I've had alot of injuries and can take an educated guess.

(Please note : I'm not a doctor)

I think you have upper back or neck problems.....

It could be your posture.

Go see a physio

let me know how you go....feel free to mail me

I had a Dr. tell me just last week...you sure are young to have all this going on ...nonetheless, I do.

You shouldnt be dismissed because of your age..Find a doctor who will do some testing based on your symtoms not your age.

GOOD LUCK!
