What Causes Numbness And Pain Throughout The Body?

Hello, I have been experiencing numbness/tingling, pain (sharp & dull) throughout my body, headaches, fatigue, weakness in strength. I had started wearing wrist braces at night to get rid of the numbness in my hands but started waking up with pain and stiffness along with the numbing so I quit wearing them. My hips now go numb when driving and send a dulling pain down to my feet. Sometimes when walking as well. Balance is becoming more of an issue. I have terrible pain in elbows (very hypersensitive to the touch, but deep internal pain as well) that radiate down my arm. I can no longer exercise because for weeks after I have raging headaches with twice as bad numbing throughout body (arms, hands, hips, legs, feet and at times my head) and usually the worst is at bedtime, but happens intermittently during the day. sometimes may go a month or so of feeling ok but lately it is a regular thing. I feel like my arm muscles in my left arm are just hanging, like my muscles are just so weak now. I am getting popped blood vessels in my hands now on the constant. It is so painful. I am quite frustrated to say the least. I have seen my primary and neurologists that have said its just pinched nerves, keep taking the ibuprofen for pain you will be fine I take 800mg at a time maybe 2 to 3 times a day). I have tried muscle relaxers but they make me sleep yet wake up to the numbing or pain. One doc said I just have tennis elbow, wear this arm brace to relieve the pain and all it did was cause more pain and swelling and it wasn t that tight. I had MRSA back in 2006/2007, it laid me up for 9 mths and it reoccurred 3 times in my face within the layers of the skin around my eyes. Docs were surprised I didn t lose vision or my eyes themselves. But I was literally laid up for those 9mths and during that time my immune system was shot and I had terrible pain within my muscle and bone. The docs dismissed MS said it couldn t possibly be and with time I would be fine then they put me on antidepressants until I just couldn t function anymore and I decided to stop taking them. I have dealt through the years but now all of the symptoms I have expressed to you at the beginning of this is on a daily now. I am a single parent and I have twin 2 yr old boys that I care for and so I really need to know what is wrong with me so I can get a handle on this...I just don t know what direction to look into for help anymore...Any advise please.
