I am a 34 year old female and I have had severe pain for 3 years now. It started in my legs, did not come on gradually, I just woke up that way one morning. It was so bad that I could barely walk. From the beginning, my legs give out on me and I fall down. Approximately 2 months after it started, I got pregnant and had a very difficult and painful pregnancy. About 1 year later, my arms started to hurt too. Then I had pain in arms and legs, hmmm. About 3 months ago, my back started hurting all the time. About 1 month ago, I started having bad headaches. Now I am a complete mess. I don't sleep because of the pain, yet I am not exhausted either. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have been suggested BUT, I DO NOT HAVE... fatigue, exhaustion, brain fog, trigger points, depression, etc... Sometimes the pain is not so severe, but it is still bad. It does not seem to be muscle pain either, the pain runs along the long bones of my extremeties, in the joints and in my hands, neck, back (entire back) arms and legs. Geeze, am I whining enough yet? My doctor has had me on Darvocet for 6 months now. He is at a complete loss after all my blood work has come back within normal range. He sent me to a Neurologist that did an MRI of my neck (only) and said that it was normal except for a bulging disc that was not infringing on any nerves. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very greatful. I am at a complete loss, and this is crippling me. I am finding it harder and harder to keep up with my 2 year old because of the pain. Anyone can either post a message here or e-mail me at CHELBY467@msn.com Thanks in advance for any help. Michelle
