Tired of Drs

[Kris_All66]

Since March I have been having episodes of severe leg pain (when I lift my leg when walking) from the mid thigh to down below the knee, right arm pain at the elbow, stiff neck, tail bone soreness, right buttock soreness, floaters in my eyes.  I saw my PCP who ordered some blood work.  ESr was 18 and ANA was 648.  He sent me to a Rhuem who then redid those test and they came back normal.  He says I am fine.  However each month the pain gets a little worse and is now actually starting to affect my every day life.  Where to go from here?

By the way can anyone tell me what could cause burning pain in my left arm?
It's around my elbow, but not my elbow.  It's not the bone, but seems to be the muscles and tendons in my arm.  On top side of arm is hot burning pain that comes and goes. This is new to me, and it is not carpel tunnel.  I'm right handed and thankfully don't have to use my left arm nearly as much as my right.
This has been going on for about 2 months now.
Not been to a Dr. about this.  I'm tired of being brushed off!

I'm puzzled!

I too have a pinched nerve in my back, RA and fibromyalgia.
But i would advise against taking 4 OTC pain pills at the same time.
Especially if you have HBP.  OTC meds always raise my BP.
Besides, i don't think the label on the bottle gives enough warnings.
You got to consider what overdosing on OTC meds can do to your liver.
I WOULD RATHER RISK ASPERIN, OR SOMETHING THE DR.GIVES ME.
Than to risk overdosing on OTC pain pills.

Just my 2 cents worth.......

it sounds like you have sciatica jewels. pinched or inflamed sciatic nerve going from your lower back through the back of the legs and into the feet. Take ibuprofen to reduce swelling, 4 for your first dose. go to the doctor and tell him

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Whole body pain or pain predominantly on the right side can be due to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, severe anemia, spinal nerve compression high up in the cervical spine, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritic changes of the vertebrae, calcium deficiency, low Vit D, peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes or hypothyroidism or due to bad posture.
Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Hope this helps. Take care!

you may have some serious spinal problems. Ask your doctor to schedule you for an MRI. No one knows your pain more than you, do not let them blow you off, it's the worst thing to do, they only help the patients that show their pain the most, show it. And the floaters in your eye, that really *****, not much you can do for that unless your cornea detaches, then they have to immediately preform surgery on your eye then which they can drain the eye and the floaters will come out.. i hope you get better, i am no doctor, only a 17 year old kid. But hey, ive been through a lot and i know that pain is depressing... as for the floaters my dad has the same things, he says he has 1000's of them and they would drive any anal person to death.
good luck, let me know how things go..
