Shrinking Pains?????

[Thinner08]

I REMEMBER ME TAKING MY TEENAGED KIDS TO THEIR PHYSICALS AND HEARING THEM COMPLAIN TO THE DOCTER ABOUT A PAIN HERE AND A PAIN THERE. THE DOCTOR TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS JUST GROWING PAINS. WELL I'VE LOST A TOTAL OF 16LBS SO FAR AND I AM FEELING PAINS IN PLACES THAT I HAD'NT HAD THEM FROM BEING OVERWEIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE. CAN THERE BE? IS THERE A POSSIBLE THING SUCH AS SHRINKING PAINS?

Re: Shrinking Pains?????

What sort of pains are you having? Are they in places that are shrinking, like in your belly fat, or is it something specific elesewhere joints/head/innards/muscle; what kind of pain - intense/ache/burning/throbbing? One cannot even speculate without specifics.

Well I Guess I Have To Say That My Back, My Legs, The Bottom Of My Left Foot, My Arm And My Calves All Feel Like Crap. My Back And Arms Ache. My Calves Have A Burning Cramping Sensation, Like Almost Getting A Charlie Horse But Not. My Foot Pain Is Even More Prevelant Than Before, Plus I Stand On Them Eight Hours A Day. Last But Not Least, I Have A Pain In My Right Side That Feels Like It's Coming From Somewhere Deep On The Inside. It's Right Above My Hip Bone But Further In Towards The Left. Although I'm Embarassed To Say It I Must, These Pains Do Not Come From Any Type Of Exercises Either.

Well, that sounds fairly uncomfortable! I'm certainly not a doctor, but I've got a hunch that it could possibly be stemming from a mineral deficiency, but it could be other things. That sort of feeling has happened to me:
1. When I was in early pregnancy (goes w/tenderness & morning sickness)
2. when I was on meds for Hep C that lowered my red blood (accompanied by weakness)
3. When my electrolytes &/or calcium are depleted &/or I'm dehydrated
4. After severe workouts

If you don't think any of the above apply, you might want to see you Doc, get blood checked... These sort of pains can be caused by a lot of things.

If you aren't taking multi vitamins & minerals religiously, I would try that 1st. If the pains persist or get worse, definately get yourself checked out! I doubt it is "shrinking pains".

Thanks Boonie Stomper. I'll Make Sure I Get That Bloodwork Done If I Dont Feel Better After I Religiously Start Taking My Vitamins And Supplements. I Must Admit I'm Not A Good Pill Taker.

Re: Shrinking Pains?????

see the doc for a check up and some blood work pain is natures way of letting us know something is wrong.
