Hello, I am a 21 year old male. I have been suffering from a problem that started a year and a half ago that me or my doctors can seem to figure out.
It is hard to explain so ill just start from the beginning.
I played high school football and was rather rough on my body through high school, then I started running long distance whenever I graduated for about a year. After I stopped running is when the pain started. It started in my lower back it felt like and I went to a chiropractor, only for my insurance to run out.
It then started becoming less of a low back problem and more like a dull, nagging pull under my left shoulder blade, i went to a massage therapist and he said the muslces on my hips and shoulders were in a big tug of war. Message therapy would help for a day, then the pain was back.
Since then I have had all kinds of tests, MRI of CTL spine, Chest x-rays, neck x-rays, UGI, overnight oximeter test, and all say I am perfectly fine.
The main problem now is that I wake up in the morning, and throughout the day, I feel like my body is a pretzel of pulling muslces. My neck is stif and sore and constantly pops when I tilt my head left, the nagging under my left shoulder blade is still there, only now it is accompanied by sore ribs on the back left side. There is always a popping sensation in my ribs where they are sore back there whenever I take a deep breath, even a normal breath or adjust my posture. It is a constant thing that wont go away. Sometimes I feel like I cant get a deep enough breath and feel like I am suffocating in air. I catch myself heaving my shoulders up just to take a breath. The last bit and the strangest is my hip. My right hip has been sore and stiff for just about as long. I dont know if all this is related or if there are separate issues but it feels like they are. I would appreciate any insight whatsoever in helping me figure this out. I have lost countless nights of sleep laying awake crying with this thing hurting and I dont know how much longer I can stand it. Thanx.
