Hi
I'm a 30 year old female with Osteopenia that is almost to Osteoporsis, two Left L4/L5 mircodiscestomies, severe bulge at L3, bulgy & deterioration of the cervical, thoracic & lumber disc, right arm burning, numbness, weakness, tingling, heat intolerance, shoulder stiffness, neck pain, left leg numbness & weakness to big toe, legs swelling, headaches, tail bone pain & numbness, twitching at night, trouble sleeping, depression, weight gain and that is just problems with my back and arm.
I have had MRIs on my head, neck (2), back (4), CT (back), EMG (right arm), Dexa Scan (2), X-Ray (neck), Echo for tachy cardia & Bloodwork.
I take Cymbalta 60mg, Omeprazole 20mg, Celebrex 200mg, Protonix 40mg, Calcium 2000mg, Fosamx 70mg, Trazodone 50mg, Skelaxin 400mg & Lortab 5. The last 3 I take as needed.
I have been told that I do not have carpal tunnel, MS or several other diseases.
No doctor here seems to know what or why everything is happening. I have been going through this since my son was born 5 years ago.
Can you give any ideas of what I should do or look for next?
Thank you

I know that you posted this some time ago, but I saw it and wanted to ask you have you had an endoscopy to test for celiac disease (they have to biopsy the small intestine). Look up information about the disease. Untreated celiac disease can lead to a number of health problems such as osteoporosis.
