What Causes Stiff Arms And Legs, Numb Limbs And Painful Muscle Spasms?

Hi im a 19 year old 5'5 125lbs female with these symptoms, some of it may be irrelevant i decided it was best to write everything down. I am seeing a doctor but she has been little help and will give me exercises and thinks its depression manifesting in physical symptoms, which i disagree with.

-hands seize up and are extremely stiff when using them everyday
-arms and legs are extremely stiff and slow to move after i have stayed in one position for even as short as 5 min
-legs and arms are weak and unable to bare weight after relaxing longer than 15 min...this is becoming more frequent
-limbs falling asleep very easily
-leg and arms will jerk
-muscle sort of spasms shuddering in waves
-general weakness, stiffness and aching body
-strange radiating pain in all joints (feels like smashing the funny-bone but seldom the tingles and numbness)
-sharp painful pin pricks randomly all over body including face
-shooting pulsating pains
-tingling heels
-eye twitching
-facial redding, numbness, tingling and burning
-skin feels like its vibrating
- hot flashes and skin fluctuates between extreme warmth and cold
-new car and motion sickness
-arm and leg partial numbness and tingles
-when hitting specific joints even lighty feels like smashing funny-bone very hard on and off
-chest pain pressure, tightness, stabbing, and aching
-stabbing pain in ribs and side and abdomen
-lightheaded and faint feeling
-eyes dont focus sometimes
-nausea
-back pain spreading to hips and butt (I have degenerative discs from a pinched nerve in 2005)
-unable to turn upper body fully around without sharp pain
-extreme constant fatigue
-chest fluttering
- constant constipation
-headaches all over head either achy or sharp and pulsating
-stiff sore neck and back
-sharp pains in neck into skull and sides of neck spine
-burning in hands feet and legs and face
-extremely dry mouth
-itching in the same spot on knee for over a year.

I pinched a nerve five years ago and could not move more a few days because of the extreme pain. I didn't get x-rays or anything and was sent home with that diagnostic. Two years ago I found out i had degenerative discs from a cat scan of my lower back. I've had ultra sounds and x-rays and am booked for a bone scan soon.
