Hey! I gained a bunch of weight starting 2 years ago plus a buffalo hump, weight gain seems to have stopped, stretch marks on hips, belly, armpits, boobs, they are now fading but buffalo hump remains, I was diagnosed with chronic myofascial pain syndrome years ago it’s a neck issue so idk if the hump is from that? It came on around the same time as the weight gain and I had the chronic pain condition for multiple years before that, but the pain also seemed to get worse, I cut my working hours drastically to cope with it and I’m so tired all the time, I fall asleep watching tv all the time and I’m just always physically exhausted, I told my doctor all this and mentioned cushings, we did a couple blood tests but my cortisol was in the normal range, on the high side, but normal, and at least at that point in time my iron was fine aswell, I’m waiting for a call from a pain specialist about a fairly new hip and lower back pain, feels like sciatica pain, and it goes down my legs, my knees are sore too, should I mention the possibility of Cushings to the pain doctor? Does the weight gain ever stop with cushings and do the stretch marks fade? If not then I guess I don’t have cushings? I’m so sick of being in pain, I have a high pain tolerance and I feel like doctors never take me seriously, sometimes death feels preferable to constant pain but it feels like people think I’m just saying that.
