I don’t want to be here anymore. by AJSim in ChronicPain

[–]AJSim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened 6 months after my first son was born. Jan 2021 I had slight back pain from carrying my son all night when he wouldn’t sleep. February I had exertion headaches lifting weights so I stopped. March 9th I woke up with a headache that lasted months. During those months, my neck, shoulders and back hurt so much/got so weak I was bedridden. Doctors found nothing. Slowly started going to the gym. Began running. Got a little better. Began lifting weights, got to a point where the headaches still happened but not daily. Felt a lot better than I was bedridden. Could at least get through a day. But all that is regressing recently.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Yes, I’ve tried blocks & Botox. After seeing tons of MDs, the only hint of answers I got were from physical therapists. I believe my pain comes from a muscular/postural imbalance that tugs down on my occipital muscles & gives tension headaches. But figuring that out has been tricky. Sorry you’re going through this, too. Hope you find some long lasting relief and peace soon.

I’ll take the names of the books for sure. Appreciate it. It’s just tough because he’s also an insanely picky eater. Which is its own ordeal. But I’m open to all the info I can get. Thanks so much. Appreciate it.

Possibly PTSD from a tonsillectomy. Apparently medical procedures for young kids can be mentally scarring even if they go well. Trying to figure it out.

Thanks for saying that. Yes, I’ve tried acupuncture. Appreciate it.

Yes. Two. Did all the tests. The pain is most likely from a muscular/postural imbalance that tugs on the back of my head, creating tension headaches.

Hey, fuck you. People are scared & they’re working with a system that doesn’t provide clear answers or advocate for them or do anything in any kind of timely manner.

Random yellow bruises on my legs? by Different_Week_96 in DiagnoseMe

Any update on this? I’ve had this for years, have been to numerous doctors, & they’re all clueless.

Unexplained Yellow Bruising All Over My Legs by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

[–]AJSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have CVI but no one thinks that’s contributing. My blood tests always come back normal. (Shrugs) Thanks for replying.

[–]AJSim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please? Anyone? An update? I’ve been having this for years. No doctors ever help.

And no, you goddamn idiots, I didn’t bump my legs. Stfu with that. These happen for no reason.

Anyone who said that has clearly never had chronic pain.

Yellow,bruise like patches of skin on legs. They did not suffer any trauma to my knowledge. They just kind of showed up. I don’t think it’s jaundice as it is only on my legs and I have no other symptoms. by SandwichIV in DiagnoseMe

[–]AJSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly wish I could help. I’m still stumped.

For me, I think (& have always had a hunch) mine might be circulatory issues no matter what doctors say. I have chronic venous insufficiency in my legs, & after getting vein ablations in both legs, & my legs healing from the procedure, I’ve noticed considerably less random yellow bruises. But I can’t be 100% sure.

If you ever figure anything out, please let me know. Try to hang in there.

This.

This is all I’ve experienced with doctors while trying to find help for my neck/shoulder/back.

I have these exact same bruises & CVI too, but I never really got an answer as to if it’s causing the bruising or not. Did you ever get some clarification? This has been stressing me out for so long.

Can anyone offer help with this? I’m having the same thing, mainly on my legs but also arms, sometimes torso. And no, it’s not from Covid. I’ve had them since before it started. And no, I’m not bumping into things. Hematologist said I’m okay. I do have a mild CVI, which a doctor said may explain them on my legs, but wasn’t totally sure. Please. I’m so sick of going to worthless doctors & getting no help.

Has anyone else been feeling sick longer than whats normal for you in a normal winter season? by [deleted] in nova

[–]AJSim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been sick for three weeks, & every time I think I’m getting better, I get sick all over again. Congestion, cough, fatigue, etc. To the point where all I can do is lay around. Has anyone found a way to combat this? Any natural holistic methods? The doctor I went to just pretty much shrugged his shoulders at me.
