Waiting on Consult
I have compiled a list of all my symptoms since car accident in 2024 and discovering that I have bilateral cervical ribs. Warning that this is long. I want to know how similar my presentation is to others while I wait for a consult. Unedited so sorry if there are repeats:
Water in my ear sensation with hearing.
Neck, shoulder, upper back, jaw (click in my jaw when I open it wide)
bilateral hip, bilateral wrist pain, bilateral forearm, deltoid pain including temple migraines
Neck, shoulder, upper back, jaw and migraines are daily Bilateral wrist pain was there before the accident Sometimes my jaw radiating to head pain is so bad that I must go to bed early to avoid it. Sometimes when my jaw pain and migraine flare up, my nose is stuffed, and I feel like I have the flu (but I know I don’t)
Wearing glasses for too long can trigger migraines, if they are not Asian fit, the migraine can be triggered in 30 seconds.
Hand cramps when I work out, and a lot of feet cramps when walking.
Very painful neck spasms on the side Feeling of armpit tightness and pain.
Tightness can be triggered by throwing a ball for my dog.
Numbness in my toes, white in the cold (always). Blue toes, pain, and numbness in warm shower (sometimes) Whiteness in my toes and hands are not always triggered by cold. Blue palms now every time I wash my hands in warm water.
Numbness in my fingers upon waking but resolves usually within 1 hour. Numbness in my hands during the day now, not always cold induced.
Fatigue, sleeping 7-9 hours daily
Crepitus noises most days when I bend my head side to side, or if I circle my arms. Mainly on the left side.
Painful holding carrot while i am peeling it Weakness in bilateral arms when I keep them up for more than 30 seconds.
Looking through clothes at the stores, pushing clothing around can be tiring. This was before the accident, I’d be exhausted pushing clothes on a rack when shopping.
Resting such as lying down definitely helps my pain Botox and lidocaine injections into my entire trapezius and rhomboids and sternomastoid muscle, I had hives all over this area, redness, and pruritic
Not sure if this is related, but I tested my stool, liver enzymes, and for celiac but all negative, but bad tummy. Very limited in what I can eat. Stomach pains, relieves when I go to the bathroom.
Quick Palpitations even when I am just resting, usually lasting 30 seconds at most I feel drained after working out, very drained.
Mental fog. Sometimes after working out, my head hurts, I focused on a lot of body weight exercises.
Had ++ angioedema with Celebrex, possible anaphylactoid reaction. Allergist wasn’t sure since I puked after getting the second round of epi. Never had this before. I’ve taken Advil my whole life and it has been fine.
Cervical ribs, T1-4 routinely get jammed before Botox. Needed manipulation weekly with physiotherapy. Sometimes the amitriptyline helps with this, but sometimes not.
Feet cramps near the pinky side of feet on the bottom. Hand cramps at the palm near the thumb
Very fatigued, my whole body feels fatigued even though I’ve had a lot of sleep. SOB One shoulder feels longer than the other
Looking down at my phone and then to my computer screen at home, my vision is blurry for 30 seconds This happens rarely but at one point, my left chest hurt, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe — never had this before. Could take a deep breath though.
Symptoms getting worse progressively despite going to massage and physiotherapy weekly since the accident Ringing in ear (rare) but didn’t happen before Electric sensation side of cheek Left arm up above head,
radial pulse irregular to nonexistent at 30 seconds, followed by feeling of coldness in hand and headache When my massage therapist is massaging my upper back, pulsation/feeling of twitching muscle is felt near armpit and upper arm medial side
Bulge at the right collarbone - got physiotherapy to needle it. Painless. May 10th and 11th, fingers and feet are burning/sensitive pain constant.
Very bad migraine today bilateral temples, try to chin tuck, hurts more.
