Hi, I know this isnt the best way to get a diagnosis and thats not what I am looking for but I am at my wits end and almost out of money trying to figure out whats wring with me. So I am hoping to get feedback so thatI can make a more informed decision about what kind of doctor to see. 

Anyways I started having strange symptoms following a minor injury yo my ab muscle 7 months ago. Looked like a pull or something but I started getting stomach bloating, back pain, sharp and burning pains in my chest. An uktrasound ruled out anything but symptoms got worse and I started having a tough time working out even though I was quite fit. Started getting intense tingling and burning sensations all over, numbness in legs and a pressure and numbness in my face. I have had all the blood tests and urine and stool and saw a neurologist who did a nerve conduction test and a brain mri. All have been clear. But the symptoms linger. They move around a bit and feel much worse after tough workouts. The think that plagues me the most this point is a mega stiffness in my neck and face that feels like pain and pressure. 

Does this seem like fibro or something else? Does anyone else w fibro get this strange tension and pressure in thier head and neck??

    After seeing four top neurologists and coming up with nothing. Once I saw a rheumatologist I finally was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia over ten years ago!

    Hello Carrier.

    It's my worst symptom.

    I always thought it was disc in neck.

    I sometimes have to lay my head down or even leave a public place and get home.

    I hope this helps.
