Chronic Pain
Posted: 10-18-05 17:02pm

I am a 24 year old male with chronic pain for a little over a year. I fell from a roof about ten feet high. Immediately got that stinging felling up my legs to my hips. Days went by and I was fine. I played basketball, rhode my bike, and helped my grandparents paint my house. Days later I got stiffness in my knees and wet to the doctor and they said it was severe tendonitis. I went to physical therapy and that helped me a lot. During that time my feet started to get real sore. I went to the podiatrist and they couldn't find anything. Months went by and I got a lot worse. I can't stand on my feet for more than couple minutes. If I lean on something it relieves the pressure and is much better but still hurts. The podiatrist sent me to a pain clinic where I have gotten x-rays,mri's, bone scan and all came up negative. They started giving me steriod shots which help, but only last for a month or so. I started to develop muscle twitches throughout my body and neck pain. They gave me another shot which actually stopped the muscle twitches until shot wore off and sent me to get a mri of neck. It showed stenosis of c2 to c5 and bulging disk. They thought it might be something in my testicular region so order a mri and it came back negative. Now days my feet feel like a crushing pain and my calfs and thigh muscles ache. My butt and back of thighs will hurt after sitting for a while in one position. My shoulders, neck, and low back hurt. Plus I have numbness in my fingers and wrist. Not to forget the muscle twitches all over my body. I need help I am no use to my wife and kids plus I am an active person and I am going crazy being in pain 24/7. Please help!
