What do I have? Chronic muscle aches, itchy scalp, weird cheek peeling...?

Hello folks, just looking for some ideas.

34, Male. Chronic pain points over 18 years, but in very specific areas:

- Achilles
- Left neck/trap
- Left shoulder (rotator cuff)
- Right neck/c3 verterbrae
- Right shoulder (front)
- Right bicep tendon
- Prostate/testicular pain.


The pains came on at different times of my life, but the youngest one is 4 years old. On top of these pains, I have the following "issues"

- Persistent dandruff, nothing helps it. Itchy scalp.
- Inside left cheek a penny size area that peels off everyday.
- Extreme gluten intolerance and sensitivity to pineapple, cherries, kiwis.
- Very poor sleep

**I have been tested for Lyme, checked for RA, celiac sprue and had nerves tested. Thyroid levels are normal. Everything is great.**

I have had two surgeries on my shoulder, numerous cortizone shots, pain injections in the neck, years of chiro/massage/rolfing/accupuncture and physical therapy. Nothing.

Here is the part that brings me to the forum.

There are two types of pains I experience.

1) Mechanical pain in the individual areas. Sitting too long, sports, awkward position, etc all remind me of my pain areas.
2) Burning sensation where all the pains come alive at once. Everything from prostate to shoulder to neck "wake up" and feel like they are on fire.

The first one is always there. I have not been able to escape it and it is awful. The second pain comes and goes, when it comes it magnifies the already existing pain twice fold and usually drives to take NSAIDs.

As a kid I was sick a lot. Tons of anti-biotics, etc. My mom is also super sensitive to gluten and cannot eat it without getting the classic digestive symptoms. However when I eat gluten, my pains flare up like crazy and burn - especially my left neck (which is my oldest injury).

Since no one can figure out what the hell is going on, perhaps this is some kind of autoimmune problem?

FWIW, being paleo and reducing carbs/sugar helps my pain somewhat, however once in a while things would just get bad again and I don't know why. Usually I would eat and within a few hours feel my body heating up and all my pain points: prostate, neck, shoulder, heel just throb more than usual. Once in a while, if gluten enters the system the neck on the left side explodes in crippling pain. I feel like my life is a mine field, no idea where the next flare up will happen.

Thanks for reading and any potential insight.
