I am a software developer and have been working for 8-9 years. Below is a brief history of what I suffer from its course of proliferation and associated symptoms.
It all started About 6 years back with pain in the neck. This eventually spread to upper back/mid back. over the next couple of years it went from there to glutes and then eventually my feet.
noteworthy things:
-> affected body parts feet, glutes, elbows, neck, upper back, mid back, fingers...
-> Can't hold static postures for more then 10-15 minutes(standing or sitting). can't ride bikes for long(30-35 minutes max)
-> after stepping over the above mentioned time limits I first feel muscular discomfort first and then with increasing time burning pain takes over.
-> actually I feel extremly vulnerable while standing...same feeling with my fingers while I am playing the guitar...feel extreme sensitivity to strings on the guitar, particularly the small finger.
-> Tire fast...do 20-25 minutes of running and some core exercies...in last year have seen majore energy level drops...
endurance and strength have both suffered...
-> my musculature seems to have changed almost everywhere..its more wiry, fibrous...like in older people
-> don't have gerd but my esophageal valve is loose(upper GI scopy confirmed this) no medication for this
-> there is no pain while sleeping...don't sleep that long(4-5 hours) though
-> Was found b12 defficient...took meythl cobalamin injections for it...levels are better now...
-> vitamin d3 insufficient(20 ng/mol i guess)...taking calcierol satchets on a monthly basis...
-> Feel lot of pulsation...in my feet, fingers(when i stretch my palm wide open), actually I have hieghtened sensitivity to my heart beat all around my body...
-> can't seem to hold penile erections for sufficiently long time
-> never had any major illneses...can't remember far back in childhood...
Please note that I have already visited 2 neuro physicians and 2 rheumatologists and none of them can seem to point to anything?
Have done thyroid test, ra factor test, and some other preliminary tests but nothing
has shown up.
I am worried that because of my muscular discomfort and growing fatigue, I may not be able to lead a normal life...in fact I can't seem to work full time anymore...is this going to get worse...what can I do to stall this problem?
What next?
Thanks
