I had aches so bad I had trouble getting upstairs. Turned out to be fifth disease. I figured it out after my DC's face turned red. The aches lasted more than three weeks, and then I was fine.

I am 37. Chest feels like something is fluttering about in it. Maybe silent GERD. I had a lung function test a few weeks ago which showed mild asthma (but with all these other symptoms I am wondering if it was just diminished lung function)? I need someone to take all this into consideration and tell me what is going on

What kind of strange sensations in your chest? How old are you? How is your general health? What kind of diseases run in your family line?

Thanks PPs. I have been back/forth to the doctor since April and they can't get to the bottom of this. I need a new doctor - one that takes the big picture into account (holistic approach).

Lyme disease can cause leg cramps. And I would definitely want to rule out a blood clot.

Don't know what it could be but please see a doctor ASAP, ie, tomorrow. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks PPs. I thought the same thing about summer shoes. I wore my supportive tennis shoes from Fleet Feet yesterday with their inserts so will see if that starts to help. I am low in Vitamin D - 23. I am going to start really upping my dose of that.

I am not on BCP. Legs are not swollen. They just hurt and ache. It is hard to describe. I have times where I feel my feet with pins/needles or where it feels like my heel is a little numb, and other times where they just hurt.

My doc did a SED rate recently which was normal but she just did a CRP which she said came back at 11 so I have active inflammation somewhere.

I feel like i am falling apart.

Eye problems - I wear contacts and get blurry vision here and there but usually when I put in a new contact it seems better. I also get auras sometimes after a shower.

I am scared I have some autoimmune thing going on...

Is it a muscle ache (like a charlie horse), bone ache (knees or other joints such as RA), or nerve ache (tingling extremities)?

Have you been taking any vitamins and are you hydrated?

As for your MRI a few years ago, have you had any eye problems?

Is it a blood clot? Are you on BCP? Is your left leg swollen?

Is the achiness from the calf or so down? It's probably too much time in flipflops and non-supportive summer footwear. My legs hurt every summer because most summer shoes don't provide the support of winter ones.

15:12 - how were you diagnosed? I had an MRI 3 years ago because of weird symptoms/sensations and they found a few lesions in my brain, but said they weren't in the usual location you would find lesions due to MS. I asked the neurologist what they could be from, and he said "migraines". I told him I don't get migraines and then he said, "a virus". Fast forward a few years and I am having weird symptoms again and am not sure what is going on. The other day my right leg felt like it had fallen asleep and was painfully waking up while I was driving home. Now both my legs hurt. They ache and are really uncomfortable I also have strange sensations in my chest. I think I need to see another neurologist.

Mine are like this, but I have MS so I'm sure that is not what you have going on. Could it be restless leg? Have you tried taking magnesium?

And I have no idea why. They ache so badly like I have the flu and 3 Advil are just taking the edge off. Has anyone else had something like this?
