Ask to be referred to a rhumatologist. It sounds to me like you may have fibromyalguia but i'm no doctor, just basing it on my symptoms when they started. Sorry to hear you are having this pain though. I presently have a severe neck/muscle spasm which I am taking more meds for. It is very painful too and like you I find heat helps but as soon as you take heat away its back. I also find a cool hand sometimes helps. Hope you get sorted.

Thank you for your reply. I have been doctors today as was getting pain again buit worse she said my markers arent raised too high and if rhse anti-biotics dont work for the sinuses then go back but I know ill feel the same after the tablets. I will be going back for tess they call 'posh' next week. Fingers crossed I get to the bottom of this but I have been reading about fibromyalguia and I thin k i have that too, people were saying coulkd be temporal arteritis and I was so worried but doctor said she doesnt think its that at all thank god. Thank you again for the reply means alot to speak to people who understand.

Hello, yes always tired but have been like that since teenager so not sure if related. I seem too find I get the neck pain more when I sit in a certain position so not sure if that a all related. Doctor doesn't think it's anything too worry about as esr isn't too high but I will be going back next week for more tests if I don't feel right. I get a tingly feeling when I lay on my back as well and get pins and needles in my legs quite easily so not sure what that is x

What is esr? I'm accustomed to doctors who look at one lab result and dismiss me. I have to remember to speak up; that lab may be ok, but I continue to feel badly.
pins and needles in legs: do you have to keep moving your legs? If not, then it sounds like a compressed nerve.
How old are you? any spinal injury ever?
