am 22 year old female and have been experiencing neck pain for about a year. It is progressively getting worse even though I have tried different pillows, massage, chiropractic care, acupuncture, etc. I finally saw my primary doc. A few weeks ago and he prescribed me 15mg of meloxicam per day and sent me to have physical therapy twice a week for dry needling. Nothing I try is really helping and the pain just gets worse and had seemed to spread to the rest of my body. Although my main area of pain is still in my neck and shoulders, my hips have been hurting a lot lately, especially in the morning and after sitting for awhile. And I also get pain in my right hand and fingers. Other symptoms include tingling feet when I m laying down, random bouts of vertigo, bruising easily, blurring and double vision, and memory and concentration problems. I also seem to be running into stuff a lot like maybe my depth perception is off or I m just more clumsy than usual. I ve done a lot of research and I m thinking maybe fibromyalgia or even lupus. But with these new symptoms popping up I m worried it could be something neurological. I go back to my primary in a couple weeks to follow up but don t really want to wait that long for some expert input. Any help is appreciated.
