Everywhere in my body hurts..?!
Question: I have chronic pain in my back, neck, knees, ankles, head, tail bone, tummy, arms. Just everywhere hurts.
I've been in 3 car crashes and had multiple sports injuries. I've been to doctors and specialists. Every single one in my city and no one can help me.
I'm only 18. I feel like I'm going to be in this pain for the rest of my life.
It's making me so depressed.
I wont go to a chiropractor or get accupuncture done.
All my 'friends' have long gone, my family don't believe me and say I'm making it up to get attention. I just don't know what to do any more. I've got some much other stuff going on in my life.
Please help me.

Your pain may or may not be related to previous injuries.
Avoid the chiropractor for now. Avoid acupuncture for now. In fact, avoid all therapies until you get a DIAGNOSIS. Without a diagnosis, therapies can make your condition worse, can delay getting the appropriate therapy, and can cost you a lot of money.
You need your doctor to refer you to a world-class hospital. Get serious about getting better. Start demanding access to the best doctors in the country, not just in your community.
Do some research on fibromyalgia. I am not saying you have it. You MIGHT have it. While you are at it, research lupus.
Why won't you get Acupuncture or Chiropractic work done? They are awesome. I have gone to a Chiropractor for both of my injuries from car accidents and my knee problems. I once saw a video of a woman have a cesarean section completely awake with no anesthesia, no pain killers, only acupuncture and didn't feel a thing. The stuff is amazing
maybe you have some virus or somthing like that. Id prefer u the best way: go to doctor or if u dont get result kkep going or go to another one.
I agree with the other poster...why would you cut yourself off from other forms of healing when they are available? You may want to ask yourself that question. Chiropractic and Accupuncture are both scientifically proven to assist the body with healing - I've also been to both...such relief and both allow various ways for much needed circulation and nutrients to get to the areas in the body in need. Improvements in your diet, drinking more water and keeping an open mind will help with any areas in need. Also sounds like you are rather down on yourself at the moment..which doesn't help your physical situation. There's plenty of opportunities to make new friends, and who's to say your family has to believe you in order for you to get better? Hmmm...some things to think over, eh?
It's making you so depressed, yet you won't do anything about it. You need to see a chiropractor, consider getting acupuncture and/or therapeutic massage. You may also want to consider psychiatric help (not that you're crazy) since mind and body exist in a symbiotic relationship. The other "stuff" in your life is going to be seriously compromised unless you take action.
Timmi...you need to find out WHAT is wrong before anyone can treat you...your pain does need to be addressed and treated immediately and you most likely should be in a pain treatment program..pain is debilitating and depressing...it causes you to give up hope and therefore the vicious cycle begins anew..getting a good mental health therapist might also be beneficial..you need support ...and with that support can come hope and maybe help in getting the right help for your health needs..re diagnostics...try looking up fibromyalgia, as it can result from any number of traumas to your body..I wish you the best..hugs and hope...never forget...you do deserve it...
