Health Issues
Jun. 3rd, 2009 03:37 pmOkay. So, my left side has been hurting for weeks now.
From ribs to hip and everywhere in between, front and back.
And I have no idea why. All my fibromyalgia tender points feel like they should be showing massive bruises. It sometimes feels like I pulled something, or I slept crooked, or have been sitting with bad posture forever. Then other times it feels like I'm bloated, and stiff, and can't move right.
I can point exactly to the eight points on my side that are where the hurts center around. Front-left ribs; stomach up and left of navel; hollow of left hip; left side just up from hip; left ribs under my arm; back ribs under my left shoulderblade; mid-back on left side; and back of hips just down from the small of my back.
I just can't tell you whyyyyy.
Mom says stress, causing fibro to go into high gear and causing the irritable bowel syndrome that goes with it, which okay, I've been under a bit of stress lately, but that's nothing new. Nothing to make me hurt only on my left side for a full month.
Dad says it's acid reflux, which... thanks for the concern, but it's really not.
Any ideas, guys? I'm lost.
