| Yes another "do I have fibro?" topic...but im a MALE!!!
Hi, im 17, male and I do not know what on earth this is and it obviously has to be fibro because I dont see what else it can be...
First of all Im tall and skinny and for more than a year maybe I've been having this "inflammation" everyday...
What happens is it starts with this awful neckpain and it radiates to the back of my head and my eyes, my eyes feel achy, on fire, swollen and so does my whole neck and back of the head area, but WORST is the whole body pain, I feel like I have the worse fever ever...eventhough when I check my temperature its either normal or alot of time just a tiny little high. My shoulders would KILL me...they can be so painful that I would cry at night trying to fall asleep because there is no relief or good position from it, its this awful ACHING type of pain and combine that with my neck and eye pain that makes me feel like im on fire from the inside and you know what I feel...the shoulder pain is usually on my left side but sometimes on my right.
Then there are the random parts of my body pain, my right knee area feels tottaly achy, it feels like its between the bones or joints, like arthritis you know? no matter how much I touch or hit that area I cant reach the pain so its somewhere there...also no relief from it no matter what position. Random joints in fingers ache...and the MUSCLES...my upper left arm muscle hurts the most at time, it feels like its on fire and sometimes a stabbing pain comes but overall its achy and tender. thigh muscles ache too...
And another awful thing is my back AND my chest...my chest area is sore in random places and the pain is awful...its hot, achy...
i get pain that make me think its my kidneys but its not, my doctor did this test where he would kind of hit the kidneys but it diddnt hurt by me, tested myself and no matter where I hit ony my back I dont feel tenderness but there is this radiating achy pain around my kidneys or lower back.
This is really making me sick and not only that I notice it mostly when it gets late at night.
I've read that usually only women get that but what the heck im a 17 year old dude and I think I have it...well if its not fibro what COULD it be??? I had a simple blood test done in the hospital long ago because of a panic attack and they just found that I had high protein in my blood...dunno what that means but yeah...HELP.
