Why am I twitching and having pains all over my body?

About a week ago one night I started having lot of pain throughout my body and then my legs would start twitching. At first my mom and I thought that it was just growing pains or something close to that. That night when it started I recorded the following symptoms which are still relevant to this day and are worsening:

Both sides of head hurting
Jaw Line throbbing
Neck hurting
Elbows feel pressured and always hurting
Wrist twitching
Fingers in stinging sensations -

Note: I also had some nerve damage and a pinched nerve in my wrist from a fall a few weeks ago.

More symptoms:

Upper and lower abdomen in pain
Cheeks pinching
Eyelid twitching
Itching all over
Both sides of thighs hurting
Legs twitching
Knee twitching and hurting
Foot pain
Foot twitching
Shaky feeling
Feeling tired but can't sleep
Loss of apetite
Weakness

Also a little while ago I slipped and fell hard on my floor in my kitchen and my tailbone hurt for a while but the pain went away. I've been going to the chiropractor but nothing (according to my chiropractor) is wrong. I went to the doctor on Thursday of this past week and the doctors said that they were "baffled". They decided to draw blood from me to see if I had Kidney Disease and stuff like that. They checked for potassium levels, Sodium levels, etc. and all reports came back normal. I've have anxiety but this was never a symptom for me. The pain is worsening and I want help.
Thanks.

Hello

I think like SassyLassie said getting a second chiropractor's opinion be good.

I would also follow it up with the doctor, just be persistent so that they do more investigation, and maybe ask for a referral to a neurologist? They will maybe ask for some scans and check your reflexes and muscle/nerve response which is what you've been experiencing and then take it from there.

However, don't rule out anxiety as one of the causes of all this. I had similar symptoms as a result of it and it was sudden, all sorts of weird body pains, twitches, and overthinking about those made me lose my appetite and sleep, which in turn can cause weakness. I was thinking the worst and didn't think they could be related, but anxiety can cause all sorts of things..

Hope this helps!

Hello~Wow, I think I would see another chiropractor, surely, after your falls and your symptoms, you must have some misplace vertebrae and pinched nerves causing the issues you are having. Did he/she take any x-rays?  I truly think you could be helped with good chiropractic adjustments.
