<human>: I have had upper leg pain, sometimes going down to foot. It is at the point of actually limping now. I can feel pain in my upper arms and neck. Sometimes I feel it right in the bottom of the back in the middle. This has been going on for almost 5 months now, and the fear of what will happen next is primary to me. I have super difficulty sleeping because it hurts more when not in a standing position or lying on floor with feet up on a nearby bed. I had two MRIs done to my neck and head last week, but have not received any word concerning results, I do not know why doctor wanted MRI of my head. A minute of your opinion or direction would be sincerely appreciated. Peace. Sincerely Doris Yeager YYYY@YYYY
<bot>: Hi,, the kind of severe pain you describe probably comes from the spine. Since it is affecting both upper and lower limbs, it is probably coming from cervical (neck) spine. I do not know why MRI head was advised. Most probably it is cervical spondylitis and hopefully the diagnosis will be confirmed and treated. Meanwhile, try giving local heat and gently rub a pain balm to the back of neck. All the best and regards
