Question: hi I'm 34 and in last 6 months had 2 periods. Each month I get all the PMT symptoms and no period. My weight is creeping up and I'm tired all the time. I notice when I walk more than 5 minutes at a time, I get a horrid burning sensation and tightening and cramping in lower back and hips - its so bad I have to stop and bend over. I get relief when I sit. My right leg goes numb a lot, and last few weeks I've noticed swelling in my legs which I never had before. I have terrible neck pain where my head feels too heavy for my neck and the only relief is pushing shoulder blades back and pushing head bak and looking at ceiling. Even turning head to right is killing me and my neck always throbs and buzzes and I get the sensation it is bleeding :( My hands are always numb when I wake due to CTS, but last few weeks its very bad, hands and fingers burning and now I get swelling which I never had. I'm not sleeping at all as I can't get comfortable. No matter how I lie or which position I lie in, neck and arms hurt, leg goes numb and I can't sleep. I'm currently getting between 2-4 hours sleep a night and I'm 34. I feel so frustrated that I cry a Lot now as I just dont know what to do. Sick of Dr giving me painkillers and sending me home. I took 2 ibuprofen and 2 aspirin today and just 5 mins walking I couldnt stand the pain was so bad I thought my lower back would snap.
