Hello,
Been having weird yet intense pain and trying to figure out the cause and solution.
I've had it before. It always comes in the evening/night. It's like my muscles are very tightly contracted, only they aren't, if that makes sense. It's like I want to constrict my muscles with all my strength, or to force them to relax, or both, but when I scrunch/tense up my muscles, it only makes the sensation worse.
Yesterday I went on a long run (for me), and it was hot. I'll admit, I did this on purpose as I was trying to prove my doctors suspicions wrong. lol. Well, that and I like to run.
I started out strong, but maybe fifteen minutes in, I got what I can only describe as chills inside my left leg. Not really weak, and not a huge problem, so I pushed through. I also got random "insect bite/stinging" --which was probably comical as I whirled around to find the offending creature. lol. Although this has happened before on maybe six occassions and isn't a huge deal. More annoying.
The rest of the day, I felt sort of dizzy. Again, can't fully describe it, and often, it feels like it originates in my neck.
Then, last night about 10pm, the pain hit me. I took ibuprofen, an extra sleeping pill, a hyocsyamine (which I take for an intestinal condition but which I've found/believe helps with twitching I used to get, and as it's an anti-spasmodic, hoped it might help. Didn't.
The weird cramping/hurting is still here, only this time only in my left arm. (Last night it was in both arms.)
My questions are: anyone experience/d anything similar and know what this is? And have you found any way to alleviate it?
Did my run cause it?
