What do my symptoms point to?!


Question:

What do my symptoms point to?

I just got back from my rheumatologist. Looks like I do not have arthritis, lupus, my blood sugar is fine (no diabetes), no Lymes disease.
Heres what I do have: Severe pain in my hands especially at night and in the morning, but also throughout the day. It is less my wrists and more my middle and pointer fingers. I have a hard time straightening my hands which my MD says is not typical of carpal tunnel.
I have pain in my knees in middle of night and mornings.
My hands go numb when I am driving, or having them upright.
My shoulder was hurting/ clicking for a while, felt like a torn rotator cuff, but I stopped working out and that seems to have stopped.
I am worried that the inflammation is cancer?

- I am going to be your little voice telling you: DO NOT GIVE UP! - LIKE I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE ELSE- You
know your body best and there is a reason for why you are feeling the way you do

My dr has a new attitude, WITH

THE RESULTS OF MY LAST TESTS...

CAN I SHARE A SCENARIO:

-I spent the last year and a half going thru heart tests (passsed with flying colors) CT scans, AND it was not my heart at

all...however, NUMBNESS, ETC -- and it was turing to PAIN>>> well after several specialists and a bunch of tests,

my dr finally sent me to a NEUROLOGIST...
I found out a number of things;

I have been able to get off a few meds and I feel better already!
-- 1. I was on topamax for migraines, GONE
-- 2 i was on BP meds, the topomax was causing heart pain and chest pain and the exact same symptoms in my r arm (

tightness and the numbness) BUT since it is a pinched nerver- GONE another med!

I didn't give up complaining, my DR referred me to a neurologist and did a bunch of neurological tests and found the

problems!!!!
my dr finally sent me to a NEUROLOGIST...
WHAT A RELIEF!

OK truth be known,because -- I was dealing with the same thing. I found out i have a PINCHED nerves - occipital (head) and ulnar nerve at my elbow. .

before suggesting, I would Take inventory of all that you have done:
, injuries, meds, falls all dr reports etc.

I did and this is what the results were: I had fallen, but I had no pain, however, within a month, I was not able to

'grasp " the steering wheel- my r side of my face- ear top of head and back of it wer all going NUMB-- freaked me

out and I thought i had a stroke- lol

I kept telling the Dr and he was getting flustered. however - YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN THAT SOMETHING IS

WRONG
DO

I used to type up a storm and have no errors- I am down to hunting and pecking- LOL (well - not that bad yet--)
I had an MRI of my neck and head. The reports were that I had a herniated disk right at the base of my scull and

that Occipital nerve and also my 3 fingers middle ring and pinky were going numb all the time.

Eventually I will have surgery, but what was recommended is a soft elbow pad- to give it a little rest - do not lean on the elbow.

My shoulder neck all of it was hurting so bad and i was also thinking that the brain tumor i have had gotten bigger-

WHAT A RELIEF TO FIND OUT - some NERVE is just acting up

ONE irritated little bugger ! LOL.

rest assured no cancer!
