Hi doctor,
I am a 42-year-old male. My father and my mother passed away almost same time for one month, and since then, I feel pain in my arms and legs. I have pain in my nerves. I do not know if it like nervous tension. I started to feel this pain for ten days, sometimes in one leg and sometimes in the arm, and sometimes on the other leg. The problem is I do not like to visit the doctors.

Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
1. What kind of pain you feel in your arms and legs?
When I stand up and try to touch my toes, I have pain. This pain started when I heard the bad news and when I got shocked.
2. Is it persistent or intermittent? If intermittent, how long-duration one episode of such pain lasts?
It is intermittent, and the duration is few hours.
3. Do you have neck pain or back pain also?
No.
4. How is your sleep? Sleep onset and maintenance?
I sleep at 3 AM and wake up at 1 PM approximately.
5. Do you have any palpitations or restlessness, or breathing difficulty? No.
6. How is your common mood these days? Happy or worried or low?
I am sometimes worried.
Daily I take 2000 D3 and B complex for few months.
I am really afraid to visit the doctor for a test such as NCV.
I hope you can recommend something else that would work.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
As per your description, pain is triggered by hearing some bad news that may point toward mood-related.
But still, I suggest you get few investigations to rule out some common causes for pain.
