Could all these symptoms be related to one diagnosis?

I have several symptoms and have been diagnosed with several different things but I feel they might all be related.

Symptoms:
-nerve pain in several regions of body
-leg numbness
-back pain
-sour stomach
-belching
-headaches
-sensitivity to light and sound
-earaches
-nausea
-pressure in occipital region of head
-confusion/forgetfulness

I have been diagnosed with the following:
-pinched femoral nerve
-degenerative joint disease (lumbar)
-acid reflux
-allergies


While these may very well be the correct diagnoses, I really do not feel like they are. I have been taking allergy meds every day but the pressure and headaches get worse. 2 months of Nexium did not help the acid reflux. Nerve damage in leg is spreading past the femoral nerve region to the upper thigh, along with many areas of pin-point nerve pain (cheek, left side of back, above knees, arm).

Please help if you have any idea what could be going on!!

2. first of all I suggest you do not stop within any medications or treatments that you are getting from your doctor.

But I really would also go to a chiropractor. A few years ago I was suffering from a muscle strain in my back so I went to a chiropractor. At the same time I had tingling and soreness in my arms and legs, neck pain, migraine headaches, earaches, the whole shot. Now keep in mind I only went there for the sore back.

She told me my whole body was out of wack, she did some readjusting(no pain) gave me some simple exercises to do at home, and everything and I mean everything went away within 2 weeks.

Just make sure you tell the chiropractor what diagnosis you have been given and what medications you are on.

Good luck
