Pulling feeling?

I have been experiencing this problem for a couple years now. I started having radiating nerve pain throughout my upper body. Then started feeling pain in my ankles. then I got so tense I started feeling tearing underneath my skin and a pulling feeling. Now my legs and arms feel like they have been stretch out.

Hello,

Thanks for your question - the symptoms are not ones that I would expect of an autoimmune rheumatologic disorder. Please see your PCP for a thorough evaluation.

Thanks so much!

Full lab work, including electrolytes and an EMG/NCS tests is a good start. Advise to see a competent neurologist in your area.
Your difficulty sounds to be muscular, but you need to see your family physician for a more complete history, a thorough examination and appropriate testing.
It's hard to determine exactly what may be going on. I suggest making an appointment with a Neurologist to get a full detailed history and examination. Also testing along with referrals to other specialists to help determine what exactly is going on and how to best approach it.
