Pain after a fall years ago continually getting worse

[Hayleykob]

I had a bad fall 4 years ago. I feel down a man hole cover and the cover slipped onto my ribs. I never saw anyone about it. I know that’s silly, but I was younger and felt invisible I guess.

Anyway, I have been having pain with it ever since and more recently I have experienced other symptoms as well. These include, numbness in the hands and feet that doesn’t last long, pins and needles or tingling in hands and feet, optical neuralgia (head aches), very cold all the time, even in the summer, pain where I hit the rib (it was the left side), pain underneath the rib in possibly the lung and abdomen and sometimes both, sneezing, slightly wheezing, pain in the left shoulder, sometimes pain down my left arm and weakness, shooting pains all over my body that will last only a few seconds at a time and won’t happen all the time-Maybe once or twice a day, more pain in the ribs when resting or exercising, easily putting on weight, lack of appetite, some allergies, random sickness and many times I have vomited to quite an extreme level and finally fatigue and feeling heavy on the muscles. I have also had some shooting pains in the hips and legs. I think that’s all of them. I have spoken to my dr about it all and they have kept suggesting is it is anxiety. They have done tests numerous times now. Last one came back as borderline thyroid. I guess I’m worried as right now I’m in agony and haven’t slept this week due to the pain each night. Any suggestions or things I could be looking at?

Edit- just to add I don’t have any physical conditions, I smoke about 10-15 a day. I did smoke weed most of my life too, soon as I stopped smoking this week my symptoms have gotten worse.

Hi please please be careful with medication and pain there are many people who will take your money and push pills on you that don’t work as when you stop taking them everything and more comes back.

Good quality help is hard to find. I note you said it was a man hole service cover. Get on to your Council to tell you who is lawfully to maintain the hatch, the onus is on them to tell you , write them an email strongly worded

Hi

Have you had any scans? Some of your symptoms you describe sound very neuropathic.

Have you told your doctor about the fall down the manhole? Any doctor worth their salt would’ve picked up on the neuropathic side possibility.

Perhaps when you had the original fall - you broke a rib (some ribs) - now that it is getting colder (if you are in UK) then you will probably have arthritis in the areas where you broke the ribs. Arthritic pain is often dismissed, but it can be agony - causing shooting pains etc, and the fact t is your ribs - any movement will involve them. I would suggest that to the doctor and see if there's anything that can help you with it. First deal with the pain, any other symptoms outstanding might be due to a different reason.

Has anyone done any Imaging of your rib cage area? I would think that would be an important thing to have done.
