Body pain after long haul flight

Not sure if this is the right place but I couldn't find a section to ask this question :/
Anyway, I am 24 years old and I was on a long haul flight from Ireland to Australia on 1st July 2015. As soon as I landed I began to get pains in both my legs. Sharp and sometimes stabbing pains...I went to the doctors and they didn't even look at my legs just said it would be tiredness and would go away but within a week or 2 the pain was still there and I was becoming more and more worried so I attended emergency department and they queried a clot in only my left leg because the pain was slightly more in this leg. It came back clear but they gave me a blood thinner and after about 8-10 hours I was sent home with some painkillers and a diagnosis or muscular pain. However the pain killers have not helped and my legs aswell as my arms and I between my shoulder blades I am getting sharp pains and they are becoming even more frequent. I have always been an active person. I play football and regularly attended a spin class but lately I can barely walk 10 minutes without my legs becoming painful and I have also been having pains in my upper back. I am just getting even more worried because of how long it's been and the pain is starting to affect my every day activities. I am also having some chest pain. I told the doctors all this but still persistent that it was muscular pain. Sorry if this is in the wrong area. If anyone can help at all...thank you

If anyone can help you, it would be Dr. Reed Sainsbury.  He is a natropath doctor and has done amazing things to help diagnose and cure many people.  I highly reccommend him.  He has a web page that I suggest you go to.  Type in Dr. Reed Sainsbury, natropath and you should find him.  His office is in Alabama, but he may be willing to travel - depending.  Once again, I highly suggest you find a way to get in touch with him.  Best of luck!

Hello.

  I'm so sorry for your suffering.

  Keeping in mind that I'm not a doctor, it's my opinion that you could benefit from seeing an orthopedic doctor.  Your pains may be explained by a sciatic nerve problem or something that I wouldn't begin to make a guess at but that an orthopedic dr. might discern.  He/ she might also know whether or not you should see a neurologist or another specialist. It's a good place to continue your search for an answer to your dilemma.

  Now, about your chest pain.  You need to see a cardiologist.  Obviously you shouldn't wait on this.  This doesn't mean that you definitely have a heart problem because many conditions can cause chest pains including some conditions treated by an orthopedic doctor.

  So, please see a cardiologist first.

  I wish you the best on your journey to finding a proper diagnosis.

Blessings,

  Melinda

I also wanted to add that my legs have very visible light blue veins all over. They were not that bad before my flight, my legs are also sensitive and sore to touch :(
