hi there

i really need some advice, i feel like either i am going crazy or the doctors think i am going crazy. a year ago i woke up with a painful right hip. it feels sore but not to touch. its always there. i have been checked and had xrays of which nothing shows. ive suffered sore heads for years, usually extreme shooting pains that go behind my left eye while decending on a plane. recently for the last 3 weeks i have had a constant pressure headache and feel very very lightheaded and now for the last 3 days i have found difficulty getting words out not all the time but maybe 3 or 4 times in a day. i know the word but cant say it until seconds later, im also doing silly things like opening the fridge for tea bags for example.

im 32, female, non smoker.

docs have sent me away so many times for pain in my body saying phone physio which is a complete waste of time. there is nothing in my body that doesnt have some sort of pain and i feel every time i wake up i have a nee ailment! i am absolutely terrified something is seriously wrong with me, anixety over health. i have 3 young children and just want a doctor to tell exactly whats wrong with me

    Are you doctoring with a neuroligist? I f not I suggest you get to one right away! Have you an mri of your brain, or spinal chord? Have you had a nerve conduction test? If not I encourage getting to a neuroligist that will most likely order all of these tests. Not all drs have the kind of knowledge you need. Also going to a place like the Mayo Clinic is a good idea very talented drs all under one roof that gives you chance to explore what is going on with your body. My best wishes are with you.
