New Member - Multiple long term health conditions at 27, M. Any advice welcome
 

**
Hello,

Below is the list of my diagnosis, but I have a story rather than conditons. I'm 27 year old man, 6ft 3, weird that I have a wingspan of 6ft 6 1/2. I'm 17 stone and try to maintain weight by health eating. I've recently quit smoking cigarettes. Day to day I struggle with standing for too long sitting in one position too long. I have back pain everyday, I have cramps that fluctuate depending on activity or not. I dont know any area of my body without pain. I struggle with walking and often have falls. I wasn't always like this, I had used to be able to play a full 90mins in an 11 a side football game. Afterwards I was in severe pain but brushed it off. I struggle socially with friends and any relationships. I struggle with moods and processing of emotions and stress. I've been getting worse for the past 10 years. My doctors keep looking at 1 conditon at a time. I'm being messed around by the national health service. I'm looking for any guidance or advice on any or all of my conditions. Also looking if anyone else in my age group has similar issues or long term conditons. I'm being piled up with diagnosis and no support afterwards. Just medication. Can anyone help?...

Welcome, KKnight007!

Although I can't give any helpful information, I can say it's too bad you're being bounced around so much in your efforts to find some answers to your health issues.

My own experience with back pain, which goes back decades, is that it comes and goes, and that sometimes really painful episodes lasting weeks will very very gradually get better if I just try to be sensible and stay away from any activity (or position) that is very painful--and so the "answer" is time and more time.

It looks as if several of the listed conditions might be helped by therapy/counseling. I wonder if you've gone that route? It might be worth a try.
