joint pain and stiffness
Severe joint pain and stiffness . . . what is the cause?
Severe Joint pain and stiffness . . . what is the cause?
HI there,
I am a 27 year old woman with the following history:
car accident with severe back sprain/strain in ’05, with 9 month of physical therapy
severe pain in butt and back of legs/sciatica ’07. Pain increased, then began to feel numbness in legs, could barely walk in the morning. MRI came back clean, but Doc thought perhaps I had a disc that only bulged while sitting.
The last year or so, I’ve been experiencing severe joint stiffness and joint pain. Always incredibly stiff and painful in the morning ( i basically walk with a waddle). Hips ache and are in pain all morning long while in bed, hips stiff and hurt all day. Pretty severe joint stiffness in elbows too.
Your thoughts? All reltated to old car accident? Or, is it something else?
After I had a car accident and failed back surgery I developed RSD, Reflux Sympathy Disorder or Chronic Pain Syndrome I’m not saying you have it but I had the same symptoms. Its what Paula Abdul has from all her cheerleading accidents. You might want to read up on it but sometimes it happens after an accident, surgery or trauma to the body. It is very painful mine started with sciatica and then the stiffness and pain in the a.m. and the inability to move unless I moved like an old person I felt like my body was 80 years old. The only thing that helps me Lyrica a nerve drug. But, this is my story, you need to get checked by a dr. I was diagnosed with it after suffering for 2 years and my dr. not knowing why I was in such pain and so stiff. Mine related to my car accident which led to sciatica which led to surgery which led to RSD. Sorry my story is so long. Hope yours is something that will go away.
