nerve pain reasons - #19557

Fatima

I am dealing with this really frustrating issue and I can't seem to wrap my head around it. Like, for the past couple of months, I've been having these weird shooting pains in my legs and sometimes in my arms, and they feel like nerve pain. I've tried stretching and even some over-the-counter pain relief, but nothing really seems to help. A friend of mine mentioned that there could be several nerve pain reasons, but I’m just not sure what to think. I did some Googling and of course, there’s a ton of info out there, which honestly just stressed me out more. Like, is it possible this pain is coming from something I've been doing, or could it be a pinched nerve or something even more serious? I don't even know! I’ve also noticed some tingling in my fingers, and it gets worse when I’m sitting for a long time. Got a couple of tests done, but all the docs kept saying were vague things like, “It could be nerve pain reasons” without really pinning it down. Seriously, how do you know which nerve pain reasons are more serious? What should I be looking out for? Any tips on managing it or figuring out what could be causing this would be super helpful.
