I'll do a recap for the last 3 months aside from the daily struggles of TBI I have whiplash pain that begins in the neck (whole neck), both shoulders, and whole back. Every day.

2 weeks ago I tapped my right arm on a door knob I walked into and it hurt a lot more than it should have (a doctor even felt a muscle knot where I hit it and it's on the same spot as my other arm) and my left arm below the elbow tingly and my hand went numb and fingers turned ice cold. Since then my arms have been alternating every day with the tingling, numbness and cold hand. Now my hand swells at night. X ray was normal.

Like yesterday was my right, today is my left. When I wake up I actually forget about it but as the day goes on it gets weaker and weaker then the pain begins. I'm on Naproxen but it doesn't even touch the pain. I saw my GP yesterday hoping he'd look at it and maybe it was a pinched nerve or something....NOPE!

All he did was say I'm depressed and wanted me to take antidepressants. My hand had pins and needles and was cold and he didn't even touch it. I was so mad. I guess my massage therapist is depressed too since she can tell of my muscle spasms when im on her table.

He ordered blood work but I know it'll come up normal. I mentioned how I have the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and how it's linked to physical trauma and emotional stress and he just said it's a disorder that isn't of real pain. I mentioned others as well like Myofascial and he ignored me.

I requested to see a Rheumatologist and he said he'd put in a referral but all I really needed was to speak with a therapist.

Sorry for the vent....

Anyone else have muscle conditions that are getting ignored?
