Convinced i have cancer

Recommended Posts

Hi all, my name is Kara,

I am a life long sufferer of health anxiety, PTSD, GAD

I went into 'remission" for two years, I never thought my anxiety would be this bad again, but here I sit.

For over two weeks I've had the most severe pain I can imagine in my back and legs, the bottom of my feet get pins and needles when I'm laying down. It gets very bad when I sit and when get up in the morning. I have been to the Dr and she did tons of blood work which came back normal. She suggest I stretch and do exercise.. well that only seems to make the pain worse. Ibuprofin doesn't even help. I do have osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a rare disease that affects the collagen. This causes spontaneous bone fractures and bone pain. However I am CONVINCED this is lung cancer, glioblastoma, or spinal cancer. The dr ordered an  xray because of the pain, but I'm too scared to get it because I'm just sure its going to show a terminal cancer, and that diagnosis is my biggest fear. Any comments or support from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

I know is hard, I am going to the same feelings right now.  I am concern about bowel cancer.  I am trying to  shake off the feeling.  The chances of being something serious are very small.
