What could my symptoms be?

24 Female
BMI of 35

Progression of symptoms:

-Leg Twitching
which turned into
-Leg Pain ( dull through calf, knee and shin. Sometimes thighs )
- Head Pain ( not a head ache. Just random cluster of pain that comes 2-3 times a day. Sometimes behind the eyes )
- Arm and Finger aching -( feels restless and slightly hurting. Just very annoying )
- Persistent floater in eye - ( I can see a float only when Im looking into a bright white monitor )
- SHL - ( Sudden hearing loss in a single ear accomapnied by a high pitched noise. Lasts for about 10 seconds )
- Bowl Issues - I poop a lot more, and they're usually a lot more 'easy' to pass than the used to be. I've had mucus once or twice but not constant.


Not experiencing any double vision with my head aches.
Not experiencing any hypser sensativity or Paralysis.

Tests currently done:
Blood Tests ( blood count was perfect, body is working fine )
Physical Neurological test ( DR told me it's anxiety. )

Anything add up here?

I asked my Dr could it possibly be cancer? He said I'm too young and it's rare plus my symptoms don't match up to any 'area' of cancer.

The ONLY thing he thought it could be was MS, but he said that was unlikely too.

A high BMI can affect so much.  Extra weight is extra stress on the body.  

If you think this is NOT anxiety-related you need to try to convince your physician to refer to a specialty.

Blood sugar was fine, had that checked.
I know my BMI is high, but I didn;t think it could effect nerve pain? Dunno.

Everyime I go see a Dr, they tell me it;s anxiety rather than push me to see a Neurologist.

Well, for starts your BMI is too high which leaves you at risk for alot of things.  The first things that came to mind were Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, or a neuro problem.    

Glucose lab was ok?  

Fibro can ruled out by a Rheumatologist.  

Have you seen a Neurologist?  If not, I would suggest you consult a Neurologist and then if there is nothing found, see the Rheumatologist.  

I agree; your symptoms do NOT match any cancer.
