Confused Can't lift leg

Hello All:

I've been having issues and weird symptoms for a little over a year. I'm in the process of getting a diagnosis (hopefully). I had a brain MRI to test for MS today. I'm 47 and thought I might be a little old for MS, but I guess you never know.

Lupus and Fibromyalgia have been suggested, and I've been dianosed with Peripheal Neuropathy and TOS. I have one symptom that doesn't fit with either Lupus or Fibromyalgia and was wondering if it could be MS

For approximately a half dozen times since the onset of my symptoms, I get this pain in my right hip area, and it is really painful to lift my leg as in marching. I have to lift my leg to get of a car or bed in the morning. I at first thought it was due to overexertion, but I know that is not the case now. It lasts for a few days and then as mysteriously as it appears, it disappears.

Other symptoms include:

extreme fatigue,
headaches that no amount of ibuprofen will get rid of,
joint pain,
muscle pain,
forgetfulness,
trouble concentrating,
mouth sores,
chest pain,
pain underneath the ribs
leg pains (mostly in calf area)
depression
eye sensitivity and pain in right eye
burning or electric like pain in arms and hands
increased sensitivity to touch
numbness in hands and feet

I don't have the tenderpoints for Fibro, but my symptoms are definitely worse just before and during my period.

Thanks.
