I went to the school nurse a few years back and she said I had nothing to worry about. But now I have a few more lumps. Should I get blood work done to see if it is cancerous or some type of gland issue?

I'm on morphine, Zolft, and recently had steroid shots for pain in the spine with no luck whatsoever. I see a dr. for pain management and all he does is give me pain killers which only take a minute part of the pain away and the fatigue is driving me up a wall.I'm trying all kinds of essential oils for natural pain relief (some help a little) and I'm wondering what else there is out there for RELIEF. Thank you for any input!!!

I have been suffering from chronic pain for three years, and I'm only 16. Right now the doctors are looking at Fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, though they aren't very confident in what they might find. I've already had three b.lood tests, an X-ray, and an MRI. I still have yet to get another b.lood test, another X-ray, and a sleep study. I've also been researching lyme disease.
My symptoms include:
-Fatigue
-Headaches (tension and migrane)
-Muscle and joint pain
-Especially.... Back pain
-Shoulder pain
-Neck pain
-Swollen glands
-Depression
-Memory loss
-Loose joints
-Hyper-flexability
-EXTREMELY overly sensitive skin (I bruise from mosquito bites even when I don't scratch.)
-Insomnia
-Unrestorative sleep (when I do sleep, even if it's for 10 hours.)
-Bowel problems
-Stomach pain
-Bladder problems
-Weak muscles
-Knees sponteneously give out
-Under weight (even though I eat TONS)
-Twitching in upper body (and face on rare occasion)
-Restless legs
-Tremor

...help?

Ive heard you can be harmed if you stop all of a sudden without being winged off. I heard that you can go into convulsions. Is this true?

I've been obsessing over the fat on my stomach. I understand that everyone has a little bit fat, but I am desperate for a flat tummy. I've been exercising a lot more, and I keep chugging water bottles (it makes me feel full and not want to eat). Could I be developing anorexia?

She has been before but only for about 2 weeks and unsuccessful.
When she is drunk she tells us she wants to go to rehab but when she is sober she avoids the question. She also has anxiety disorder and with her phobias on high speed she has been drinking more and more and doesnt eat and looks so sick. She also smokes 2 packs a day. Her psychiatrist of many years is a pill pusher and avoids the fact that she is a non-compliant patient. Right now she takes inderal every once in a while and zoloft every day cause she knows she is VERY depressed. But she is drinking SOOO much. HELP! I want to call the primary doctor cause he doesnt know she is a severe alcoholic!

I'm currently being tested for several issues. I've had severe leg and arm pain (muscles or bones?) I have low vitamin D and cortisol (Celiac Syndrome?) Maybe some osteo? I have a bone scan on the 10th. I had an ultrasound, they found 1 uterine fibroid and several cysts on my right ovary. I have very low hormone levels and may be going thru menopause? Some other symptoms: urine takes awhile, is frequent, stools float, rash on arms, weight gain, severe leg and arm pain, dizziness. Already have painful neuropathy in feet, legs and hands (the pain in legs and arms is an ache, not from neuropathy). I drink 60 oz water, 110 gm protein, 45 carbs, 950 calories. Not exercised lately, when I do I gain more weight. Blood sugar ok, blood pressure on the high side. Fatiqued. don't have fibro. Seeing rheumotologist (no RA), pcp, neurologist. Getting tests. Take 120 mg cymbalta, 300 mg lyrica, 30 gm morphine sul slowact, 15gm ms daily. HELP
