Hey, I am new to the forum and I am a 24 years old male. It all started about 6 months ago. I started having off and on stiffness in my legs. They seemed to bother me more when standing for a while or getting up in the morning. It would always last for a month then go away. Well 2 months ago I started getting swelling and pain in my upper back and would feel bad when laying on it or sitting against it. That started to subside after a few weeks but then one morning about 2 wks ago I woke up w/a stiff right leg. The stiffness is centralized around my knee and it seems like there is a lump in my lower hamstring with a bunch of veins around it that are not present in my left leg. It feels better after stretching or walking for awhile but still persists. Since that started ive been having all sorts of problems. My back pain returned with increased stiffness in my upper back and neck w/pain and occasional lower back discomfort. I started having tremors/twitching in both feet at night when i relax them, weird feelings in my fingers and hands where it feels like i lose flexibility and my wrists and fingers get stiff. My right arm feels tired and ive started having dizzy spells. All these symptoms flucuate day 2 day and dont seem constant other than my right leg, but seem to bother the right side of my body more than my left. What do u think is going on? Thank you for your time!
Andy
