Question: I have pain in some parts of my back and shoulders and i am now having like a chest pain, and i feel that my left side of the body is heavier than my right side, along with dizziness, fatigue, i have no energy and i constantly wake up at night. I went to all kinds of doctors, from chiropractor, cardiologist, internal doctor, neurologist, and i have done all blood tests, urine tests, cat scans, brain scans, mri and all tests show normal. i am very frustrated because there is no doctor who can give me an answer i know my body and i an not crazy, i am not feeling well at all, it is a very unpleasant feeling i am feeling, the doctor said on this site said it might be fibromyalgia, but i dont have pain ALL over the body, the pain is limited to only some parts close to my shoulders and upper back and around upper arm areas, i do NOT have headaches, nausea, or tingling or numbness, but i feel sometimes my muscle is twitching. i am really getting hopeless as no one knows what is wrong with me. please help!

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query
I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.I think you may be having vitamin D deficiency as vitamin D deficiency can cause such unexplained pains .You can get vitamin D levels and if found low it can be supplemented with vitamin D3. You can also get your heart function test to rule out heart disease if not done earlier. For symptomatic relief of pain you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen.
You are also having anxiety component and frequently waking in night, you can take Anxiolytic such as alprazolam. This is a prescription drug.
You are unlikely to be having fibromyalgia as your pain is around one shoulder only. You can be benefited by multivitamin and trace elements supplements as your symptoms are like deficiency of these. You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
