Had Knee Pain. Done EMG, MRI. Worried? Treatment Needed?

I have been in a year and half battle of trying to figure out what's going on. Started with limping and left hip hurting, then eventually it took me off work. So while off work a year the pain and symptoms have changed places. The more I was off work it seemed as if my body was trying to rest and new pain was starting in different places. I started having burning in left hamstring, and 2 toes on left foot go numb from time to time. Left side of back in the middle it would be really tight then I would stretch and it would help loosen but not enough. I have had 2 EMG, 4 MRI, seen Ortho for knees that are locking to where it's gotta pop before I can walk, tearing noises in knees caused Ortho to send me for MRI. There is so much going on that I can't write everything, I started getting injections in left fascia couple weeks ago. The diagnosis has changed a few times right now it's left hamstring strain and fascia syndrome, maybe you can help, but Friday when I got home from work both my feet went numb and hands also felt like they were swollen but they weren't. I'm a bit scared cause I think about damage and all the meds I don't want to be on. As we speak my hubby is trying to rub a knot out in shoulder. Currently since the weekend I have a spot in the middle of my spine that feels like a hole but my hubby felt it and says its just out of line. Please help this is humiliating and scarey! Thanks desperate

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Pain and numbness both legs.
All M R I and E M G reports are normal , but few things are still to answer.
You have not mentioned the age , which is very important as in female hormone play an important role.
Mention the history of blood pressure ,diabetes.
Also upload the reports of C B C, E SR.
Hyperkalaemia is an important factor.
Good luck.
