anyone feel more burning/numbness when sitting

@rwinney I know you and so many are correct about taking an antidepressant. It makes me feel weak because I am the glue to my family. I'm the strong one. I have Cymbalta and haven't been able to get myself to take it. I told my husband, I don't know what it is ( this pain, is it nerves, vessels, spasms?) What is causing this pain, what has made my body this way? What did I do to induce this? I'm just so dumbfounded! I'm so scared I'm damaging more waiting for answers, I'll never get better.
I get what I call adrenalin dumping, but its painful. Its so hard to explain and doctors look at me like I'm insane, but its real. It makes my legs weak and has caused bathroom issues. My primary doctor things its all musculoskeletal and nerves from lifting weights, but why isn't it subsiding? And what about my pulse? The other day I mopped my kitchen floor and it was 149. Thats not right!! I believe something is wrong with my body, and my anxiety has worsened the symptoms.
May I ask you how Cymbalta worked for you? I also take gabapentin at night only with a muscle relaxer.
All of you have my heart tugging!!! I love the support! Its helpful and I am grateful!

@jesfactsmon nothing is corny!! I need all the positive thoughts. Words, prayers I can get.
As of now, the plan is to continue with chiropractor, PT, massage, follow up with GI and hope to get a GI work up other than endoscopy, follow up with PMR doctor and primary to see what else we can check. I saw my cardiologist and he was very nice and said let's wait for the lumbar MRI (which came back normal yesterday) and we will see what else we can test. I just can't explain why I feel these rushes of burning pain on my left side and weak legs. I don't think I can wait 3 months to see my neurologist who kind of blew me off.
My husband wants me to be tested for autoimmune disorders, my mom want me to have a colonoscopy and small intestine work up, my dad wants me on antidepressant.. Its so overwhelming!
I really hope you know how much your responses are!! I truly am grateful xx

Aimee, I vote for Spinal Tap to rule out autoimmune, I think that's a no brainer. I vote for a Neurologist pronto! You describe many symptoms of burning pain and weakness which I experience from Small Fiber Neuropathy. I hope you've already had an extensive. complete blood workup to rule out vitamin deficiencies such as B12 which can cause such disruptions in your body and leave you with permanent nerve damage. Also, what about genetic mutations and disorders?

@rwinney I have had standard blood tests. I would have to go back and look if they checked B12. My neurologist said, I'm stumped lets try brain MRI and I had to check the results, He didn't even message me or call about it. At the end of my appt. he said see you in 3 months. No other tests have been ordered by anyone else. I don't even know what to ask for, who to go to... This is why I feel so very defeated. I even said to one doctor, I can't do this anymore it's so painful when I get thee"episodes" then I ache all day. He said go to the ER and let them do another CT. I don't think they understand that I think it is nervous system, vascular, or my spine somewhere. I don't know. I just don't know what to do. As I type this, I am in tears, I just feel so lost.
I did wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks and recorded SVTs. the cardiologist said that sometimes as we get older there is no explanation for why we have these things. But these were sudden for me. I don't ever recall my heart doing this.
I'm noticing that I am having several of the episodes I mentioned in the anxiety post to you while I type this. I am looking down at my computer. I am trying to see if these "episodes" are more frequent with my head tilted forward. I keep feeling a pop in the back of my neck and I wonder sometimes if I have cervical instability? Maybe a lot of nerves are being pinched? My cervical spine is the only area not scanned. I am going to start recording if these "episodes" happen in different positions.
I know I should try the cymbalta.. I'm just so scared I won't be able to function for weeks until I am use to it and my kids start home school in the next 2 weeks.
I wish I could give this community a hug 🙂 All of your support means so much to me. Evan my closest friends have not been this supportive. They just don't understand how debilitating this has been for me. Like I said, going from Incredibly active to pushing though a walk to keep my strength up has been devastating. I feel like a broken record when I say I am so lost, but those who know me, who truly know me, know I don't stop, I am the mom that drove her kids to school with a migraine and would stop to vomit on the side of the road and keep driving, but this.. what ever this is.. Has stopped me! I'm desperate at this point ya know!?

I have not yet 🙂 I'm currently trying PT, Chiropractor and massage therapy. I'm on a muscle relaxer and 2 gabapentin at bedtime, 1/2 xanax mid day and I was on naproxen once a day for muscle inflammation, but it's not good for my tummy. I did have a friend mention acupuncture. This might be a next try.
Thank you very much for the suggestion!

@brayimee I am so sorry to hear of the ongoing mix of strange symptoms you are experiencing. You want answers and that is understandable. I would like you to enlist the help of @johnbishop to research one of the medications you are on as the potential cause of some of your symptoms. Have him research the medication Xanax (alprazolam). I have read about people who take this medication and experience these strange symptoms . It has to do with it being a very potent medication but also short acting. You may very well be experiencing daily withdrawal symptoms. Google Dr Christine Huff in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. Read about her story. educate yourself about this problem. Then talk with your doctor about how to safely discontinue the use of Xanax and come up with a plan to manage your 2 cousins (anxiety and depression) . You will get through this so start now by enlisting the help of loved ones. You have a huge fan club here,everyone only wants whats best for you.
