Pain In Arms, Rib, Shoulder, Migraines, Joint Pain, Cervical Discs. How To Get Relief?

I have been expierency pain and a variety of symptoms for 13 years. Began with rib pain. Then arm pain, followed by routine migrains in my sleep. Then arm pain moving to other arm. Pain radiaing from shoulder diwn to ekbiw. As though i could feel a constant nerve pain. Migraines under control, golf ball size knot worked out through chiropractor and physuval therepay and massages. Over the last 7 years my job has caused emense stress. My joints, tendons and weakness i feel is from thus job. Always on my feet, bending, pulling and carring and breifly sitting for a few minutes. My knees hurt always, my feet feel like im carring bricks. Over this period of time, 7 years, i have found out i have 2 bad cervical discs, with bone spurs, scoliosis, mild spinal stenosis. I am only 44 and feel like im 60, with arthritis. I am absoultey miserable all the time. My kids say im no fun anymore. I used to be a fast walker, enjoy hiking. I have no desire to do anything that requures any waljing or carring.

Hello

Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic,

I have studied your case,
You should rule out any systemic disease like rheumatoid arthritis.
epidural injections can be helpful which may give relief for couple of years.
I may suggest for operative decompression If no relief after conservative therapy.

check your vit B12 and vit d3 level .
Physiotherapy may help you for longer period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
