I was just a little curious about the
feelings I have been getting recently. I
experiance pain all over my calfs and in
the front of my leg on both legs on and
off daily. My right and left side of my
chest get bad sharp pains ( Not both sides
at the same time) Sometimes I feel a
little light headed. My forearms and
wrists on both arms get pain sometimes. It
feels like the veins in my forearms and my
neck have dull pain a lot. Also my wind
pipe on my neck seems to hurt on the
outside also. My calfs do not appear to be
red or bigger than usual. I tipically get
a small random headache that doesnt last
too long. My right eye ball feels like
someones pushing on it a little more than
lightly. I do not experiance anxiety
anymore since I am on Zoloft I do not get
these attacks. Sometimes my right shoulder
blade gets a quick stab pain than goes
away. I am only 18 and my blood preassure
/ cholesterol was marked average.
Sometimes I get very dull pains in my jaw.
I do work out and get my proper exercise.
I havn't been running recently the calf
pain seemed to come out of no where.
According to the preexisting condition
you've noted (anxiety) and a number of
inexplicable pains in various parts of the
body, it seems that you are probably
experiencing somatoform disorder (a kind
of neurotic disorder). During some
neurotic disorders like somatoform
disorder, emotional conflicts become
transformed into symptoms of real organic
diseases. Zoloft is one of the new
generation antidepressants called
"selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors"
(SSRI). It is believed that depression
lies at the base of all neurotic disorders
and that’s why there is sense to taking
these antidepressants and they've been
prescribed. You can speak with your
prescribing doctor about the symptoms you
are experiencing, and ask about treatment
options for depression.
