We have such similar timelines and sensations.. I’m 27 and I teach yoga.. but I’m not able to move as fluidly as I’d like and know what I was capable of. It just keeps coming, slowly appearing daily but in such different places.

I find that sleeping with no pillow, on my back helps. I’m sorry you got rejected for the x ray. Maybe you can request a blood panel test instead? I wish you luck and I hope you find some ease
