Chronic pain, pressure in head
Hi, I had pain in my knees, to the point where it was hard to stand about 10 years ago. Three doctor said it would go away by the she of 16 (I am 19 now). Then I had massive back pain which started in the lower back and now in the upper back. The doctor told me I was lying and there was nothing wrong, until I had an xray and found out I have scoliosis (not severe, slightly curved spine). Then I couldn't concentrate in clad, my grades slipped and my body began burning and aching all over. I'm sensitive to cold and heat makes the pain worse. An immunologist was going to diagnose me with Fibromyalgia but he said no because not much research was done on it, and my body reacted to severely to medication so he was scared to prescribe me anything else. For the past two months my fogginess had turned into a constant headache and heavy pressure, feels like my head is being squished and my eyes feel like they are being pushed out. I also have been hallucinating for a couple of months, seeing things, hearing whispers, involuntary movements, ringing getting on scalp. Also my memory is progressively getting worse I can't remember what I did during the day or past, also sometimes I forget where I am completely and how I got there, I have sought difficulty reading and massive difficulty memorizing. I have muscle spasms. Any input would be appreciated. Oh And my bloodwork always comes out normal.
Just to clear up typos are typos (autocorrect on my phone) I have a tingling feeling on my scalp (getting more frequent), Tylenol with codeine numbs the pain a bit but makes me dizzy, I am taking Prozac for about a week now, doesn't help.
Oh and my face is starting to twitch now, in correlation to massive headaches. Meaning my eyes, nose and cheeks. I had what seemed to be a hearty attack two months ago, massive stinging in my chest, right arm hurting, pain shooting through my neck, unable to move, loss of energy. Also this past week I had an episode where my head was hiring so much I couldn't open my eyes, my face was twitching as well during that moment. And randomly my heart starts beating fast and there is pressure on my chest. Sorry I didn't write this before, I keep forgetting :p
I have tried changes in my diet, doesn't work. Uhm I tried Lyrica, the pain i'm my left leg stopped for an hour, then came back, and I had a bad reaction. I tried Tylenol with codeine, didn't really help, pain was need but I was really dizzy. Note i'm on Prozac, for about a well, doesn't help. Oh and my legs and arms are falling asleep a lot more often, pain doesn't get better with sleep, sometimes worsens.
It sounds like you have alot going on physically and mentally. You are very young and feel for you. If I were you I would first begin with keeping a close look at you diet . Then start looking at all medications you are currently taking. I didn't see any list of meds you are on? Can you share this info? I can only advise you according what I would look into.
