Symptoms getting the best of me!!!AGAIN!!!
Hi everyone I haven't posted here in awhile cause I have been ok for the most part, just looking on here alot to see if I can help anyone. So here is my new problem.....About 2 weeks ago I had my neice over to spend the night, I slept on the couch then woke up and was so uncomfortable, I also had back pain, so I put the cushions on the floor and slept like that, when I woke my back hurt even worse, now I get back pain that would be just "normal", but the past 4 weeks I have working out, every other dau for 1 1/2 hours, on a treadmill and bowflex, so maybe that is it, but sadley, I got my period on Monday, my husband and I are trying to have kids, so I got my period
and I woke up with it Monday morning and had horrible back pains again, I did the day before also, but I took Aleve and it seemed to help, but now it hurts everywhere, my lower back, it goes into my legs and down to my calves, it hurts in the back of my head, and my elbows are hurting me too? Is this anxiety or what? I am terrified of going to the doc and tests and waiting for the results, I get myself in such a panic I either want to throw up or off I go running to the bathroom, with you all know what!! HAHA, also I have had a dull pain on my right side down by where my ovary is, I think, and with my period I am so bloated and my stomach feels like it is going to pop, but then my back hurts, I can't walk right and I am soooo scared thinking I have MS, lupus, cancer, or something I am not ready to deal with yet. If it keeps up I know I should go to the doc, but it has to be horrible for me to go, and I have insurance!!! So if anyone can help that would be great!!!! I went for my yearly in December and my pap was fine, I just don't know maybe I could be pregnant, maybe it is my period, maybe it is just back pain, my friend gave me Naprosyn, and it helped quite a bit last night, I was able to sleep, but I am so darn scared it is something HORRIBLE, please anyone with input would help me so much, everyone tells me not to worry, but they don't understand what we do ourselves, I haven't eaten in 2 days, I just need some advice, thanks guys.

First of all, try to relax. Then for cripes sake, will you eat a little something. I recognize these symptoms and I think the period and pms symptoms tend to get magnified during times of anxiety. It has been that way for me any way. You possibly could be pregnant, so going to the doctor should be up on your list especially before you take pain meds and stuff, since you are trying to get pregnant. The sleeping in a different spot could have altered some discs a ittle I think and that could be pushing on your siatic nerve and that can affect a lot. I have probs with my "nerve" and on it's bad days, it seems like my whole body is in turmoil. Instead of worrying about what it could be or isn't, I would just suggest going to the doctor to get a lot of things ruled out. And, yes, I eally believe that anxiety can just wreck havack on your body, because you become tense everywhere, even when you don't think so, and you feel it. So try some decaf chammomile tea or the like, have hubby give you a massage and just plan to see a doc soon. Best of Luck- S.P.
