I get sudden attacks from my orbits to my feet, and muscle pain and weakness with a feeling of bone-on-bone pain from head-to-toe. It feels as if something is gnawing at my bones, and it feels as if, say, my shinbones, foot bones, knees, hands and wrists, are shattered into a million pieces. I have significant scoliosis and piched nerves in my back. It hurts to lay my forearms down on surfaces, like it is disturbing the meat inside them. I have had these symptoms since I was 28 to 30 years old. I am now 47. To go with this, my new rheumatologist has ordered bone scans and nerve tests, as fibromyalgia is not suspected, as I have no pressure spots where it hurts to touch. I only feel the hell of trying to be mobile when these attacks occur. I do suffer severe working memory deficits, and I cannot learn certain new things at my job because of my immediate loss of memory. Somebody's gonna get sh** - canned if they don't improve their memory, so I have begun doing some brain training exercise 20 minutes a night. I scored an 8 on working memory. I know; that's bad. I have angle closure glaucoma, a low thyroid, gerd, had my gallbladder removed last year, had to get TVTO surgery for extreme urinary incontinance, and my bones may quit hurting in 30 seconds as if nothing ever happened, or they may continue on for days. My Rheumatologist is testing me for Paget's of the bone. He did x-rays and drew 9 vials of blood from me. Does this seem like a possible culprit? I'd sure hate to end up with that, but I want an accurate diagnosis. Thanks, if anyone out there has Paget's of the bone, and this sounds familiar, I would love your two cents worth.
Well, the symptoms described by you are not specific for Paget’s and it would be difficult to determine the cause without an evaluation. I would suggest consulting a neurologist and an orthopedician as well for your symptoms to rule out possible neuro-muscular disorders, metabolic conditions, hormonal/ endocrine abnormalities, micronutrient deficiencies etc that could possibly be related. Without the relevant details, it would not be possible to comment further at this stage. You may like to discuss the possibilities with your doctor.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
