I'm 19, and a few years ago, it all started. My back began to give me excruciating pain on a daily basis, mostly in my lower back, and since then it's spread to every part of my back. There's one firmer than normal spot in my lower left back, and no matter what I do, it won't go away. If I don't crack my back, and I lean over to get something, that spot hurts so badly I can't explain it, along with the rest of my back.

My nausea and joint pain occurs daily. I've been diagnosed with acid reflux, and it's apparent I have it, since if I eat something salty or acidic, my esophagus burns in a certain spot. I eat as well as my budget allows me, but my nausea happens regardless, even if I eat all natural food, balanced meals, etc. But nothing seems to stop this persistent feeling of constant sickness. I went to a hospital for this before, as my stomach was giving me sharp, knife-like pains, and I kept vomiting constantly. The doctor who examined me asked me if I had a stiff neck at the moment, because he was worried about meningitis. I said I didn't. A week later, my neck was rigid. I don't know what to think.

My joint pain mostly happens in my knees. As I type this, my knees are flaring up, and I don't know why.

My neck, well, that's another story. Normally it's on the back of my neck, near the base of my head, on the left side. The muscle there, forgive me for not knowing its name, but every day that hurts to high hell, although I do nothing to strain my neck.

Occurring occasionally, I look up and to the right, and a spot above my eye hurts, inside the socket. Extreme pain, that's the only way I can describe it.

Occurring usually daily, most of the time when I urinate, one spot in my urethra murders me. I went to a doctor before, and he said it was Urethritis, and gave me a prescription of..Steroids, I believe, though it was a while ago. They didn't help, and I didn't go back.

So, that's basically everything I've noticed that seems to be out of the normal. I'm hoping I can get some answers from the members of this forum, as I'm wondering if something is completely wrong and needs instant treatment.

Thanks,
Scott
