@liv1020 Welcome to Mayo Connect. We're glad you have posted here! It has to be frustrating, let alone painful, to be experiencing what your body is going through right now.

Just throwing a list of ideas that came to mind:
Has there been any change in your environment? New type of clothing/bedding/place you live? A new pet? Change in diet? Perhaps a new allergy/sensitivity to something? A visit to an environmental medicine doctor might give you some answers. Does massage in the affected areas help or worsen the pain and symptoms? What about soaking in a baking soda or oatmeal bath? Have you tried topical solutions, like anti-inflammatory ointments? Are you close to a Mayo Clinic campus to ask for an appointment?

An idea is to journal your symptoms. Time of day they occur, level of discomfort, detailing out what you feel. Write out like you did here, what has been tried, and your body's response. This will help in pinpointing the possible causes.

I hope you will come back and let us know any further developments. Can you do that?
Ginger

I appreciate your reply thank you! I've been going crazy trying to figure this out. I havent changed soaps detergents lotions anything. The only thing was I started on gabapentin 300mg for painful bladder syndrome I was on it for 4 days and it was making things worse. I called the doctor they said to stop it. About a week later I started noticing this pain I made an apt they said that if I was on it for 4 days this couldnt be from the medicine. It's been 4 months now and that medicine is the only thing I can trace it back to. Its suppose to help nerve pain not cause it is what all the doctors keep telling me. I'm at a loss..
