Skin and muscle pain

kttn..I have been on a lot of different pain meds and I can not take Oxycontin, it makes me dilusional. My choice would also be dialautid or morphine. I have such a high tolerence to pain meds as well. (actually to all meds) I get waves of muscle spasms from bottom to top that take my breath away and when I go see a pain management MD I will ask her about that as well.

Thanks for the info and for understanding. All I care about any more is releiving the pain as much as possible so I have some quality of life. I am not going to worry any longer what some family Dr might think. HE IS NOT LIVING MY PAIN!

again Thx, talking here seems to help a lot

I had burning pain on my skin. Like yours it would come and go. I felt it randomly on my scalp, stomach, back, face, everywhere.

I was later diagnosed and treated for Lyme Disease. The burning and many other weird symptoms went away after I was treated with IV Rocephin.

Moondancer.... i have been where you are. when my pain began i was about 23. i started where most people do- the chiropracter. (i know, i know) i used to be a bartender so i chucked up most of my pain to being on my feet all day. my visits became more & more. at one point he even accused me of seeking. after an mri he gave me a shot of cortisone in my arm & some skelaxin. (I KNOW, RIGHT?) i went through a cancer scare so my fiancee & i moved to fl to be with my family. i went to a new PCP & he explained he could not prescribe the meds i needed due to the FDA. he reffered me to a pain clinic. the dr took my MRI & gave me a nerve test in my legs. he sat down & explained everything. said my meds weren't strong enough. well, finally 6 years later someone took me seriously, by this point i had so much damage it was not reversable. but i tell you, i sat there & cried for a long time.... someone finally believed me & i knew i was in good hands! i told him about my old dr up in GA. & what he accused me of. he just said there are some drs out there who would rather tell you something than to admit there was a wrong diagnoses. anyhow my pain dr is a gift. he also suffers from back pain. most of the people in that enviroment are there for a reason. they suffer it themselves or someone they knew personally.
anyhow, my point is if you are not getting the help you think you need- go someplace else! i wish i had. i thought for years i was just imagining it. i thought i was crazy. i should have trusted my instincts & knew my body was telling me something! so don't give up & get a second opinion. maybe even a third. between all the drs offices & ER visits, i can't tell you how long. i went to chiropracters, masseuses, accupuncturists- it was crazy. so you hang in there and be vigilant! ask around, find out who is good in your area. if you ever need an ear, just email me. i understand. we all do. i am not the only one with that same story!
(((hugs)))
hope you have a better night.
**there is a website, i think its called diagnoseme.com--- something similar-- look it up. i went through test after test. it has about 5 pages of questions & will give you a possible diagnosis. thats how we figured out my fibromyalgia. i went through RA tests, cancer, ms, lupus, allergies, auto-immune - just pretty much whatever you can thing of i was tested. these had all my symptoms. my drs looked at it & we had my answer right there. check it out.**

p.s. if somehow something is mispelled or out of place in any of my posts, my laptop is going insane!
