I would really like a suggestion or some help about the pain I have

I was wondering what could cause left hip pain the runs along my buttocks, thigh all the way down to my ankle. I have shoulder pain alot too, on the same side. My joints also pop a lot, especially in my hips and knees and shoulder. I am 25 years old I have had 3 c-sections, and just recently under went a hysterectomy thinking that will help my problem. I had an extrem amount of scar tissue from my c-sections. My bladder was on top of my uterus and it was also almost fliped over and on my right side. So that is why they thought that was causing all the pain on my left. But that was only in March and the pain is already back and worse. There is also a few other things that happen alot. I get really bad dizzy spells, I can't see right, I shake alot, I bruse very easy, I get very sick in heat I can't be outside long and I can't take hot showers. I get numb in my toes it almost feels like I have none when I walk. There is more but can anyone give me any suggestions from what I have said? Thank you

Don't know about the other issues - but frequently pain in hip (either side) that runs down your leg is USUALLY a lumbar (back) problem.  Sounds weird - but I had this same pain and it turned out to be a herniated disc.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Apart from fibromyalgia multiple joint pain is seen in hypothyroidism, low Vitamin D levels, Low Vit B12 levels, anemia, Hasimotos thyroiditis, gout (can sometimes cause multiple joint pain), rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, SLE, electrolyte disturbance particularly those involving calcium and magnesium, parathyroid gland problems, chondrocalcinosis and chronic fatigue syndrome. Hystrectomy is often associated with Vit D and calcium disturbances and hormonal disturbances causing multiple joint pain. Please talk to your doctor regarding these and get yourself examined accordingly.
There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the lumbo-sacral spine region. This can happen due to overuse of the lower back as in work requiring too much of bending, lifting weight, fall on the back, overweight, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. Poor posture while sleeping, sitting on computers or jobs for a long time, uneven bed, exposure of back to cold air while sleeping can cause a discomfort for a few days. Please consult a neurologist. A MRI of the spine is definitely required. Take a multivitamin, plenty of fluids, and an OTC analgesic. Apply a local analgesic and sleep with a hot water bottle and see if it helps.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

The pain from the buttocks to the ankle sounds like sciatica pain.  Factored in with the other stuff...have you been checked for MS, lupus, or fibromyalgia?  You might want to do a Google search on the symptoms of those and see how they line up with your symptoms.
