I am hoping you can help me as i am getting very worried about some strange symptoms i have been having.
I am 22yr old female from the UK. I am otherwise healthy and have had no major health issues in the past, apart from a bout of costochondritis and anxiety problems in the past 2 years.
I have no family history of any significant health problems.
These symtoms that i have been having all occur on the right side of my body literally head to toe.
Facial Symptoms:
Eye stinging and pain in and around my eye. Ear ache and pain just below my ear (somewhere in between my neck gland and ear) a feeling as if my ear is a bit blocked but no loss of hearing at all. Pain on my jaw joint and a numb/odd feeling across my cheek. I can still feel my face and anything touching it so it is not totally numb, just not right though.
Arm:
Pain feeling as if it comes from the middle of my back/back of my shoulder, down the back of my arm centralising around my elbow then down the outside of my arm again centralising around my wrist and then into my two end fingers, but my whole hand can feel a bit stiff/painful
Leg:
Pain coming from my hip down the side of my leg centering around my knee (can be very painful in my knee) then down the back of my calf into my ankle. It sort of feels as if my calf muscle is 'tight'. One day, i did have a tiny numb spot just below my knee.
None of these symptoms are constant, they come and go and sometimes can be all there together, sometimes only one at once.
I first had them in october last year and i visited my GP a few times, and was told my facial symptoms were a type of neuralgia and they never really gave me a diagnosis for my arm/leg but they threw around a few suggestions such as trapped nerve/muscular skeletal/sciatica (for my leg pain) the symptoms gradually reduced and finally disappeared after around 4/6 weeks
Doctor - please see the next post for the rest of my question as i exceeded the maximum word limit
