What Causes Painful Lower Extremities Along With Headache?

I have consistent loner extremity aches..weakness. Also plagued by these string like bands over head, neck, and body. They are usually associated with either discomfort, headaches, or body pain. One doc said fibromyalgia..but long term psyc nurse with history of very physical work, as well as athletics and car accidents/physical abuse as young adult fairly severe. What is going on..use lexapro and Ativan prn. Days on end when I can t move without pain..primarilary bilaterally in legs at end of day...help please.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having vitamin deficiencies. So you should get your vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3 done to rule out vitamin deficiencies. Other tests you should done are thyroid function test and tests for diabetes. Till then you should continue with drugs you already taking for fibromyalgia. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
