Hi all
Sorry if this a long post but i haven't shared it and need to.
I have always been a worrier, one of those people who has to find something to worry about!
For the last year i have had pain in my legs, particularly my knees on a night and morning. It takes me time to losen up in the mornings. I also get burning skin feelings above my knees. I am 40 and 70lb overweight, at 6' 4" i am 20 stone (280 lb).
For around 3 months i have noticed a twitch in my calf, to start i couldnt feel it just watched little twitches under the skin. These have now spread to both legs, bicep, forearm and right eyelid, although this has stopped in my eyelid. They are strong now and make my clothes twitch. The tops of my arms on the outside have a dull heavy ache and i get numbness in the back of my hand and the top of my right foot. If i cross my legs my right calf twitches immediately and i have a dull pain in my groin. Although my arms feel week they arent really (if that makes any sense!)
I am a worrier, started a new job, moved house and my wife is ten days overdue with our first child!
My doctor did a thorough neuro physical and said all was fine. I went to a chiro who says i have a great deal of tension in my neck and shoulders and a bit of a misaligned pelvis
Doctor sent bloods for a rheumatology screen inc autoimmune but said "come back in three weeks for the results when you have a baby in the house"
Many thanks for your time
Rob
