Beside myself and loaded with confusion

Hello,I have had a series of medical situations since abt. 2001 but the majority got more intense in 2004
my dilemna started with unexplained pain and strained muscles and joint problems,such as spontanious
bursitis and locking of the joints,there were no signs of swelling nor did I injure myself,then it spread out
and had had weakness in my arm and pain with numbness and tingling ,my neck seemed locked up.
I had a few site injections in my feet and a few rounds of physical therapy but it only helped slightly
then my shoulder and neck pain and innability became extreme so I resorted to spinal injections to no avail.
and over the last 2/3 years i have had severe headaches with dizziness and nausea and have at times been bed ridden.I have began to have pretty steady pain and limits in my knees,difficulty getting up steps and sometimes having to crawl which seems outragious to me.On several meds which do not seem to be effective.Have had
visits to psyche drs. and counseling for the anxiety which has helped me keep my wits.Just so many symptoms at different times and extremes and been tested and found a few abnormalities and not sure if this is just a combination of all of them but I would really love some relief but I have no insurance now which limits my ability
to to get the bottom of this.I have been diag with Fibromyalgia and a possible neuro syndrome but they haven't
gave me anything concrete.i had childhood head injury which resulted in epilepsy til abt. the age of 14 and
I thought it may have something to do with some of it but my last EEG only showed a reaction of a photo response
and falling into a sleep mode at some point...I would love to get this figured out....Feedback may help

Find a chiropractor with a good reputation and who possibly practises acuapuncture. I was diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome in both both hands and a week later the right side of my face went cold and numb. I thought I was after having a stroke. I went to my chiropractor and he diagnosed three dislocated bones in one hand and a trapped nerve in both arms and the facial numbness was the result of my jaw being dislocated after something fell on my head months previously. A few sessions and I am perfect now. He did adjustments and acuapuncture. excellant results.  If your bones are dislocated it can affect everything in your body. Good luck.

I had a few diag mri ct's,all of them had abnormalities but they couldn't be specific as
to what was causing all these crazy symptoms.Nodules and polyps,spurs,spondylosis
stenosis,mono neuropathy of unknown region based on the nerve function test.
It really interferes with my everyday function and it's difficult to make drs. understand
or they look at me in disbelief until they see the reports and how many drs. can you see
at any given time,one specialist for each episode it seems.The last Neuro said that
my vascular and nerve structure was out of sync and they didn't see one of the arteries
that go from the brain to the spinal cord.central canal stenosis was found and broad-based osteophyte complex c5/6 herniation and slipped disk.I thank you for your response.

Has your Dr recommended an MRI on your neck and back? That might be a good idea. You do sound like you have some Fibro symptoms but it usually comes with muscle pain too. Do you have that? Have you ever been checked for arthritis? This must be very frustrating but it sounds like you need to have more testing done to figure out what's going on.
