Hello everyone! okay long story short (even though it will be pretty long) i am a 20 year old girl, last October 2014 i started a new job in retail which basically meant me standing up all day, it was only during the weekends as i am a student however i also started university in September too and was in a whole new city and different environment to what i was use too.
anyway my legs started to feel tired at the end of a 8 hour shift which i guess is completely normal right? but then after a few weeks i started to develop pain on a friday this then carried on till saturday and sunday, this pain was in my right leg and went straight down like sciatica except not shooting tingling or anything, i use to limp my way into work BUT the most bizarre thing is that on monday-thurday i was perfectly fine, i could run jump do anything but come friday i was crippled, now this went on for months and months and i was just confused, i was going to see my doctor about it but didn't know how to tell her that the pain only came on the weekend (i thought i sounded mad and my mum laughed when i told her).
so over the winter i always get vitamin D deficiency (i do take tablets for it) and i started getting pain in other parts of my body (ribs, chest, hands feet) and i didn't know what it was, i also have anxiety mainly health anxiety so this didn't help either i was quite stressed out and didn't know what to do and felt anxious constantly felt like sh*t. one weekend my pain was really bad (in february) but by monday it was okay however when i woke up on tuesday morning it was there!!! i thought it would just go but it didn't.
i thought by this time it was time to see my doctor, i went to see her explained that it started with work and i thought it was a slipped disc or sciatica she did some tests (straight leg raise) and said it was wasn't gave me some cocodamol and said take this and it should go away, the codeine and some ibroprfen gel helped but it didn't eliminate the pain.
the pain was so bad that i couldn't get into bed and out of bed, into the shower walk, even when i coughed and sneezed it still hurt!! couldn't bend sleep anything! i was crying everyday because i didn't know what the cause was and couldn't get on with my life.
wow this is long, sorry! so anyway days weeks passed i was in agony looking up stupid things on the internet, thinking i had a blood clot, aneusysm, ALS, all sorts, the pain gradually got better but by probably 60%.
its June now and the pain is slightly there, i have been seeing a physiotherapist for it, i came across sarnos books a few weeks ago whilst browsing the internet for hope, i believe what he says but it just doesnt sink in to my head, it feels too good to be true, could anyone please help me and give me an idea of what this pain might be oh and also i get the typical TMS pain, piriformis, shoulder, TMJ wrist and knee but there on and off.
THANK YOU IF YOU GOT TILL HERE
