So today I went back to work. Which I have NOT been looking forward to. It sucks because I always loved going to work and going out and being active. Now I just wanna lay in bed and watch Netflix. Pain in my knee and shoulder/collarbone area still present. Also very wobbly/shaky knees and legs prolly due to being afraid all the time. Which might be causing my knee pain. But my shoulder and collarbone pain idk. I do a lot of using my right arm at work for drilling and such but Ive never had problems like this. I’m only 28! Already had a ct with contrast to check the shoulder out and apparently they found nothing. Full blood work up with Lyme and mono testing. All came back clear. Idk where to go at this point. I’m suffering everyday more often than not. Tired all the time. I’ve also had a scan of my abdomen which came back clear. I have an enlarged lymph node in my neck which was scanned also and no abnormalities but I have an appointment with a surgeon next month to hopefully get it biopsied. Also messaged my PC about meeting with a neurologist to get my nervous system checked. I’m worried about MS or something like that. Have also had a swollen middle finger on the same side as my shoulder for a while now. So I’ve been stressed to say the least. Any thoughts?
Hi Vince, So sorry to hear of all your pain! It might be reassuring to know I am going through this kind of stuff too which is why I joined patient today. Constant numbness/tinging/burning pain, headaches, nausea and so weak all the time! sometimes its hard to see myself getting any better is it health anxiety you are struggling with too?
Hey Imogen. Well that’s the thing, I can’t figure out if it’s something causing all this or health anxiety/ general anxiety and panic disorder. The fact I have had actual swelling with some of my aches and pains makes me think it’s somethjng else...but at the same time I do suffer from serious anxiety and panic attacks and have for years. My leg and arm pains seem to come and go but my shoulder pain and swelling under collarbone has been present for a couple weeks. My knee pain is usually there in my left knee but sometimes goes away. It can come on for an hour and then disappear. It’s strange and upsetting. I wish someone had an answer for me.
Hi I have suffered with anxiety for over 10 years, stooped takibg meds about two years ago and have been fine until about a month ago, no trigger at all just left arm pain and swelling left side pain including heart and also left leg. Had ultra sound and mri - clear. Now neck pain headaches, brain fog blurred vision. Anxiety is through the roof, why, I havnt a clue.
It’s so horrible. I can’t stand it. Every day is literally a struggle. I just wanna get it under control. I was doing so good. And I can’t convince myself it’s just anxiety which makes it 10x worse 😫
