Answer 1

Sometimes i get so aggravated at dr's, it sounds like it's 2 different balls of wax. the muscle thing could be a symptom or something else.

what kind of depression med is it your on? & you have told your pschyitrist,yes. they will understand more, medical dr's will say"it's all in your head",,blah blah blah, (most will anyway) especially in women!

go to someone else . or go to webmd. or cbshealthwatch. google it,&take infor to dr, ..keep on, & make sure you'er getting enough sleep, pain is one of the symptoms of depresssion, but i really think you've got 2 things going on.

good luck.

Answer 2

I'm a single mom with clinical depression that has been in remission for 8 years now. Find a therapist you can talk to. Maybe the hospital you went to can refer someone. Not sure about the physical symptoms you're experiencing. coordinate with a psychiatrist for meds. we all have problems. as my therapist told me years ago "your problems are the same, it's you that has changed, your reaction to the problems is different, more healthy" God Bless

Sounds like poor circulation. 20 minutes a day of LIGHT cardiovascular training and working out. Modifying you diet, and consult a physician (by getting a referral from your current physician) that specializes in cardiovascular things to rule out any serious illness. Basically what you need to do first is rule things out one by one.
