Hi experienced something similar or can offer insight.
I’ve had a long and confusing health journey, and I’m trying to make sense of it.
I’ve had headaches since my teenage years. In my early twenties, I started experiencing nausea and dizziness, but no clear cause was ever found.
Around the time of COVID, after having my second child and going through a very stressful period, I woke up one morning with severe, sharp groin pain. I went through extensive testing (CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds), and the only finding was a hip labral tear. I had surgery to repair it, but afterward the pain shifted more toward the midline and eventually to the other side.
I later had exploratory surgery to rule out endometriosis, which came back normal. Another MRI showed a labral tear in my other hip, and I underwent a second surgery. Unfortunately, my symptoms worsened after that.
Since then, my pain has expanded and changed over time. I now experience:
More recently, I began exploring a neuroplastic/TMS approach. Interestingly, as I started making emotional and lifestyle changes (like setting boundaries and standing up for myself), my symptoms began to shift again—pelvic pain improved, but other symptoms appeared or intensified.
My current symptoms that concern me most are:
I’m trying to understand if others have experienced similar symptoms—especially the positional color changes and burning/heaviness in the legs—and whether this can be part of TMS/neuroplastic symptoms or something like autonomic dysfunction.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar or has insight. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Since then, my pain has expanded and changed over time. I now experience:
- Low back and pelvic pain
- Pain in my feet and hands
- Constipation and stomach pain
- Blurred vision and light sensitivity

My current symptoms that concern me most are:
- Burning sensation and heaviness in my legs
- Tight hamstrings
- Toes turning blue when sitting (especially with knees bent), but returning to normal quickly when I stand
- Feet becoming very red with visible veins in warm showers
- Hands also turning red at times
