No type of pain killer or procedure works on me. Why??
Wow, I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I don't think I have a good answer for you, but I want to relate to you my friend's experience. She was having a variety of symptoms (I don't remember the details), but pain was definitely a problem. She was even having trouble walking b/c the pain was so bad. She tried to lift weights during this period and experienced shooting pains. She was constantly sleeping and exhausted. She saw something like 20 doctors and none of them could provide any answers, though some told her she was a hypochondriac. Finally she saw an endocrinologist, who on a whim, gave her a test for a vitamin D deficiency. It turned out that she had a very severe deficiency, which was not b/c of inadequate intake of the vitamin. Her body was only able to absorb a tiny amount (inadequate). When the doc put her on super levels of the vitamin, all of her symptoms disappeared. Some other vitamins such as calcium cannot be absorbed without the presence of vit D, so I'm sure there was secondary deficiencies. Maybe you can get a detailed blood test that looks at your vitamins/minerals. Also, hormone deficiencies can absolutely wreak havoc (including mysterious pain). An endocrinologist would be able to ID hormone imbalances. I hope you find this info useful and I hope you feel better soon!
