Is Pain In Leg, Shoulder, Collar Bone, And Tingling Due To Sciatica?
i have carpel tunnel pain which started while i was pregnant and is getting worse eventually. I have started to loose balance. the pain starts all the way from the back or side of my pain to the shoulder and collar bone and radiates to my palm with a tingling and numbing sensation along with lot of pain. Off late i have also started to feel a tingling and burning sensation from my lower back and hips down to my legs and toes which cause a burning sensation along with pain and makes it difficult for me to stand, stretch or bend my knee. The knee joint is also quite swollen and tender. The add-on is I am experiencing nausea and dizziness along with stomach ache---can this last part be something not relating to the pain but the stomach or the digestive system? Also, is the pain in the leg a sign of sciatica??? What should be my next steps and the follow-up cure for all the above. Thanks.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.I think your problem can be a systemic arthritis.Normally ESR will be raised in routine blood count.If it is raised then you should undergo rheumatology blood tests like RA factor,ASO titre,ANA profile etc.A Rheumatology consultation will be necessary if any tests are positive.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
