Help please?!
Question:
Help please?
i've been having dull dispersed muscle pain in my back. It spread from my neck and shoulder down to my hip and buttocks. It also makes my arm and leg feel very uncomfortable.
The pain is mainly on the left side of the body but i do get it also on the right side
following is a list of test I've run:
MRI of brain, neck, spine, and lower back and they all came back fine.
Blood tests including thyroid hormones and that came back fine also.
Other symptoms include:
-hand tremor
- muscle weakness
-anxiety
-minor headache with dull pain behind the eye on the same side of the pain
-shallow sleep.
Doctors seem that the pain is psychosomatic, Here are some of the medications i tried
painkillers: advil
deanxit (anti stress drug)
muscle relaxants ( norgesic, norflex, and legaflex)
antiinflamatory (xefo)
xanax (0.25 mg 3 times a day)
SSRI ( cymbalta)
cymbalta got my spirit up but i didn't find pain relief yet! any help or feedback is appreciated
Answers:
Have you been checked for pre-diabetic syndrome - specifically low blood sugar? Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can be the cause of some of your problems. Check out the symptoms link at www.hufa.org.
Until this is ruled out (fasting blood insulin test with fasting glucose tolerance test - preferrably 5 hours in length), they can't truly determine it is psychosomatic. Hypoglycemia can be mis-diagnosed as psychological problems.
