I would look for a cranio worker, sounds like pinch nerve(s). I live with a lot of pain issues and it's all related to osteoarthritis and I'm 81 the same numbers as your 18 or reversed.

My back issues all started at 18, but I've worked on my body all my life.

Hi! They've ruled out it being a pinched nerve! That's what I thought in the beginning too! We're leaning now towards fibro, and the last few medications I've been put on are normally used to treat fibro! Unfortunately, none of them have worked yet.

Oh at 18 they are saying Fibro, they told me that at 60something. Still feel you need to do bodywork as "they" don't know it all to "rule out" this and that. They tell patients Fibro when they can't find the issues...they meaning doctors. Get to a good alternative healer who knows the body. And the drugs are not the answer in the books.

Oh yeah! Fibro is definitely a diagnosis of exclusion! It's pretty BS :/ I'm still trying to look for answers and a real diagnosis. Where I'm from the medical help is pretty limited. I may have to go out of state.

Often we can't come up with a "definite" anything on our health issues. Fibro from what I've heard over many years is a lot of issues gone wrong...like Thyroid for starters. You are so young. Again, see an other than allopathic MD if you've exhausted ALL.
