Hi, i,m a 26 year old female who has been experiencing body pain throughout my body. It started back in june. One I suddenly felt this shooting pain from my neck to my ankles. Lasted for about 4 days then gradually subsided. Then afterwards there were tenderness in exact location on both sides of arms. Pain went away for 3 weeks, felt nothing then exactly a month later came back. This time my hands, feet, knees, and right arm were tingling. I also started getting muscle twitches all over. This lasted for a week then subsided but this time did fully go away. Sometimes when I move I could feel pinching feelings in my kness or in my elbows. I also experiennce jerking movements at night right before I go to sleep. In the last week my kneck on the left side has been hurting and also part of my lower jaw. My arms have been in pain and can't determine if its bone, muscle, or joint pain. I just know my arms hurt mostly but also can feel wierd feeling in my legs that can travel to my ankles. I forgot to mention that each time I have this uncomfortable feeling on the left to central portion of my abdomen. I know this is long but can some give my some idea of what this could be. Arthritis, lupus, or something els. Cannot see a doctor for another 3 weeks.

What did you find out?
My 9 year old daughter started having the same symptoms...what did you find out? Tick bite? My daughter's could have been precipitated by a bug bite, she complained of strong itching at a bite site but no real redness...but she had also just had a very unusual 10 day bout with a croup like virus, her throat would close off even while on steroids...she took prednisolone and decadron..I'm just not sure what has caused it and how long it will last, but she has about 30 pains throughout the day...the back of her upper arm is sensitive, she complained of jaw pain, pain in her thigh, calf, around the ankle area, her toes, at one point she had a sensation of stinging bees in the fleshy part of your hand that runs down from your pinky, it's just continuous and her pediatrician did a Sed rate and CBC but all came back normal...don't know what to do.
