Hi,
Where exactly is the pain felt?
How long does each episode of pain last?
Any worsening or relieving factors?
Any tests like CT/ ultrasound scan done?
Any symptom other than pain?
Hi Doctor,
It is not a pain that I feel. It is hard to discribe, I start to feel it in the back of my knees first and then my legs start to feel weird, then my body starts to get very tense to the point that i have to go back to the hospital from the severity. In the hospital they tell me that all is fine, vitals, heart etc. the espisode if minor enough would last 2 to 4 hours. The only revlieving factor I had once when It was so severe I was screaming at the top of my lungs until they gave me so much narcotics in the IV that it put me in a messed up where I was unaware of anything. There were no worsening factors. It only would get worse if I get more pain meds. No CT's were ever done because they keep telling me that I am fine and there is nothing wrong with me simply because my vitals are fine. Once however, the shortness breath aspect of the episode was bad enough that I had to get rushed into special room where they gave me oxygen (Only made me worse) connected me to a EKG machine to monitor my heart did all kinds of blood tests where everything came back fine and kept a close eye on me till the symptoms got better.
I have a feeling that what I am going through is not very common, because even Tylonol gives me a minor episode. Needless to say that I have been getting through pain the last year or so by toughing it out which has a very bad psychological efect on me because I always feel fear of flare ups and my wife and baby cannot feel much better seeing me go through this.
I really hope you came accross this before because I am in serious need of help.
