My Friend Has This Arm, Shoulder, And Leg Pain That’s Unexplainable?

November 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Pain

Well, when we got back from Spring Break several weeks ago, my friends arm was REALLY hurting on the bus ride home from a field trip. She slept for a few hours, because it was an 8 hour ride, and I told her to. She went to the doctor a few days later because it still hurt, and they did some blood tests. I’m a medical freak, and I looked it all up. I still couldn’t find anything. The doctors couldn’t find anything, but they gave her some pain pills. They work for a while, but then wear off. For a little one day, she had blood in her urine, but it went away at the end of the day. Both or her arms are hurting now, and the pain has spread to her legs. She has been missing a lot of school, and I’m really worried about her. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be? It’s not shingles, they tested for it. Anyone a serious doctor? I just research the medicine stuff, but I’m not a licensed doctor. Please help!

    Where did you go on Spring Break?
    It’s possible that if there was water around you, she got bit by something or stepped on a sea urchin or something.
    i’d check everywhere for little dots, or on the bottoms of her feet.

    it sounds like she needs a second opinion….she needs to be tested for tetanus and such. good luck
