Okay first off I am a female 16 about to be 17 in about a month (heck yes!) I exercise everyday for about an hour to an hour and a half Im very active and I thought I was in pretty good health but here lately I have just been dog tired...I go to bed at about 11 and wake up at 630 so I get good sleep but I wake up like 4 or 5 times in the middle of the night with sever abdominal pain I feel like im dying or something and I am usually damp with sweat and even though I get enough sleep I still fall asleep atr school all the time and also when I get home from school. For about 2 or 3 months I have noticed that I have a few swollen nodes on the right side of my neck and in both arms by the elbow. So the other day I was at a friends house and I went to stand up and I had back pain that dropped me to my knees and that lasted for about 10 minutes...I have had back pain for alomst a year now but it has been getting worse and now my chest has started hurting and I have been getting very short of breath and I am getting really freaked out. I have also noticed that my knees and sholders start hurting very frequently its like a deep dull ache I thought maybe it was from working out in athletics but now Im not so sure cause my whole body aches sometimes and I want to tell my mom but she is one of those if you cry im going to spank your ass kinda people so I dont want to seem like a weenie but the pain is getting worse to where I am afraid to breathe cause I dont want it to hurt my chest and my back is killing me to where if I move the slightest bit I have real bad pain...I sound like a weenie but I am really scared about what the heck is wrong 
so any help or advice would be greatly greatly appriciated
Thanks for reading, Whitt |

Whitt, I am so sorry about your health concerns! We cannot diagnose anyone over the Internet. Your symptoms could be related to one condition. On the other hand, it is possible that you have multiple things going on at the same time. Furthermore, since you are legally still a minor, I have to advise you to tell your parents about what you are experiencing and about this and any other communications you have over the Internet. You do need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
Best wishes.

Thanks for the reply Jim but I dont want to worry my mom with this and I dont want her to think I am just complaining to complain. My family has a history of cancer and I wanted to get advice before I went and told my mom about all the crap thats goig on with me. I usually am not the type to worry but the pain really has been bothering me enough to start looking up research and stuff.
Thanks.
Whitt |

LoL Well Jim you most certainly raise a good point...so I guess I will tell her tomorrow...I just dont want her to have to worry if its nothing...I mean I have gone this long and been fine kinda...I dont know I guess I just dont know what to tell her or to tell my doctor and all that stuff I tend to get really nervous around doctors lol Im a chicken. I just feel like I am over reacting but at the sametime I am worried it might be something bad. You probably think I am stupid or something lol but thats okay I just need somewhere to ask my question and vent about what has been worring me...does it ever sound like it could possibly be lymphoma cause if not then I have no clue what the heck to do...im so lost lol but its all good I hope.
Well thanks for listening to my random ramblings lol,
Whitt |
