Back pain spreading to neck, shoulders, legs …?
It all started about 2.5 years ago when I worked really hard for a day in the yard. My back started hurting but I thought it will go away. It went away for a while but if I did any type of work or lift anything more than 5lbs, the pain would come back. Now the pain is in my neck, shoulders, sometimes legs … Sometimes is lasts few days sometimes weeks.
I’ve tried psychical therapy, chiropractor, acupuncture, massage, pills, cortisone shots …
I’ve had blood tests – shows nothing. MRI, X-Rays, Bone Scan … all shows up fine.
I got one of those inversion tables … no luck.
I would appreciate any help or ideas.
They just send me from one doctor to another and it takes them 2 months just to see me (when it’s a new doctor).
I really need some help. This is starting to affect my life. Can’t sleep well, can’t function well …
Thank you.
What are some of your other symptoms?
I first had back pain when I was 10 years old, and when I was 15, it spread to my legs, thighs, arms, hips, and knees. My tests all came out negative also, and was basically told that it was all in my head, and I was just some crazy hormonal teenager that was making up pain to get attention.
At 18, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and experience pain in most of my joints and muscles, have insomnia, and bouts of depression.. Check out the websites below, then discuss it as a possibility with your rheumatologist.

It may not be what you have, but it’s another possibility. Best wishes to you, and I hope you have an answer soon, because there’s nothing worse than to be suffering without a diagnosis, suffering along, thinking that you’re crazy and having people telling you that you are. Take care.
