I think I found out what the problem is with my shoulders and arms. I looked up Polymyalgia Rheumatica and read the symptoms, and I'll be damned if that isn't what I've got. I'm going to talk to my doctor asap and hopefully get on some medication, because the pain gets unbearable at times

Do this, one of the biggest problems doctors have now is the internet and people self diagnosing and that can be dangerous.

This coming from a person that has a few med professionals in his fam and friend circle.

It's Ok to look up things but get an opinion thro an examination.

I've went this past week and they said tendonitis, which I know it isn't because I've had tendonitis before. I swear Boss, when I read the sypmtoms of that one I posted, I knew that was what I have. I'm going to confer with the doc hopefully tomorrow

This is something that literally happened like overnight. Tendonitis doesn't happen like that

The highlighted symptoms are why I might have this

The signs and symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica include:

* Aches or pain in your shoulders (often the first symptom)
* Aches or pain in your neck, lower back, buttocks, hips or thighs
* Tenderness in your upper arms
* Stiffness in affected areas, particularly in the morning or after prolonged inactivity, such as a long car ride
* Limited range of motion in affected areas
* Pain or stiffness in wrists or knees (less common)

It's always good to get a second opinion. My point was people shouldn't self diagnose on the internet because that can get complicated.

I hope things work out well for you bro, as you know I have severe pain issues at times and it's not fun at all.

Good luck.

So you're saying my self diagnosis of schizophrenia is just in my head?

Good luck BTM. I got hit by a car last year and I still get back pain every so often because of it. I know how much it sucks that you can't sleep because you're in too much pain.

Thanks man. I just want to know what's wrong. Right now they're saying it's tendonitis, but I know it's not that. Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you're healing well.

Thanks. I think I've healed about as much as I'm going to. My recovery actually went well, and I don't have back pain often, but when I do it hits hard.

That does suck too about not knowing what's afflicting you. Hopefully, even if you're wrong, you get a diagnosis and can get treatment started.
