Sounds serious.


I never know how serious any of the pain I experience in my body. I've been living with extreme pain for a long time. The GP doesn't seem to care. His recommendation is pain management. The specialists don't seem to pay too much attention either as they try to focus on the overall condition rather than individual parts.


My toes can be extremely painful. We're sure it's gout. What do you do about it? Also suffer from plantar fasciitis that comes and goes. And the pain in both ankles can be extremely severe where I am limping when walking. There's no time to feel sorry for myself. The physiotherapist gave up and suggested exercise physiologist. No way. I'm not even going there. I'm not jumping up and down. He suggested expensive shoes with support. Bought $250 sneakers. Still the same so shoes not the answer either.


Both shins are extremely painful. Split shins? Both calves also painful. Knees. Osteoarthritis in both hips. The left is quite severe. If I somehow move left leg sideways the pain is excruciating. Pain in groin. Pain in pelvis. Pain in lower back. Some related to Osteoarthritis. Some related to Sacroiliitis. When I sit the left knee can lock. Scares me. I have to move quickly to unlock. Excruciating pain. I cannot get up from sitting position unless I put my hand on thigh to support me getting up.


Both hamstrings painful when I walk. Almost like I've done a hamstring.


Fingers constantly swell. Knuckles and finger joints in constant pain. Wrists sore. Forearms sore. Elbows sore. Upper arm sore. Shoulders sore.


Upper body a mess. Curved spine the worst of all and getting worse. I can't stand straight. Stressful. My neck in constant pain. Non stop. Nothing makes the pain stop. I keep moving neck trying to make it hurt more. That's the only relief that makes me feel good.


What can you do? Too many issues to try and diagnose each one. Too many issues to try and fix. Its difficult to even try to explain each of the issues. I don't want to keep taking medicine for temporary relief.


At least I'm back up to walking 6,000-7,000 steps a day. I miss golf more than anything.
