I have always been a healthy person with the exception of an extremely high metabolism. I am 31 years old.
Two months ago, I was sitting still in a chair when I felt something "squiggle" under my skin starting at the base of my skull on the left side, down my neck and down the left side of my spine where about half way down, it felt as if it hit my spine and exploded in pain. the pain shot through my chest, knocking the wind out of me.
I ended up in the ER that day and they claimed it was a pinched muscle or nerve. Several days later, I saw a chiro. He worked on me for a few weeks with no luck.
I started developing MANY symptoms over the past two months. They come when they want, no matter how active I am.
Everything from headaches (which I have never had in the past), weakness in various parts of my body intermittantly, vision problems intermittantly, muscle spasms everywhere, twitches everywhere, a constant pressure in my spine right in the area that exploded in pain and intermittant tremors in my arms & hands. And my latest...a trip to the ER last saturday due to my legs all of the sudden developing MAJOR cramping pain shooting from right above the waist and all the way down to the point that I couldn't even walk. Those symptoms among many...
Ive been to several doctors, including my regular physician, opthamologist, chiropractor, and neurologist. New symptoms are still popping up.
All tests performed came back normal and included 3 MRI's (with & without contrast..brain, cervical & thoracic), CT scan of head & neck, Angiography (CT)with contrast (brain & neck blood vessels), various regular X-rays and a ton of bloodwork.
Everyone has been clueless thus far. Thankfully my regular physician is not giving up on me and I just got the call from him today that he is going to refer me to the Mayo Clinic up in Rochester. I just hope that they can sort this all out.
Has anyone ever had anything like this happen to them or something similar? My luck is i'll be one of those Mystery Diagnosis' It's very frustrating to say the least.
