What Causes Pain In The Legs, Foot And Arms?

I have had upper leg pain, sometimes going down to foot. It is at the point of actually limping now. I can feel pain in my upper arms and neck. Sometimes I feel it right in the bottom of the back in the middle. This has been going on for almost 5 months now, and the fear of what will happen next is primary to me. I have super difficulty sleeping because it hurts more when not in a standing position or lying on floor with feet up on a nearby bed. I had two MRIs done to my neck and head last week, but have not received any word concerning results, I do not know why doctor wanted MRI of my head. A minute of your opinion or direction would be sincerely appreciated. Peace. Sincerely Doris Yeager YYYY@YYYY

Hi, welcome to HCM, the kind of severe pain you describe probably comes from the spine. Since it is affecting both upper and lower limbs, it is probably coming from cervical (neck) spine. I do not know why MRI head was advised. Most probably it is cervical spondilitis and hopefully the daignosis will be confirmed and treated. Meanwhile try giving local heat and gently rub a pain balm to the back of neck. All the best and regards
