Who says anxiety wouldnt cause 3 years of problems in your right side? If you have been continually obsessing about your right side then anxiety could well be keeping it alive.

Firstly take a deep breath, clam down. You have been checked by the docs, 8 infact and if they arent worried then neither should you be, i know thats easier said than done. :hugs:

If you really dont believe the doctors you have already seen then maybe you should go direct to A&E? Get checked out once and for all x

I went to a and e a few times they say I have muscle tension and won't x ray me or test me , it really is driving me insane

Oh Hun you have had this for a long time and if it was something bad I think it would have showed itself in other symptoms by now and you would be feeling a lot worse. I suffer with my shoulder and sometimes my neck and I am pretty sure it's down to the tension that I hold there I really am no good at relaxing my muscles and when I think about it I realise I am tense and my shoulders are all hunched high. You should try bio freeze it is good for muscles aches pains and strains x x

Oh and mine are the same aches as you described but in my left side

[mrs way to worried]

Thankyou , I've been put on higher dose ibephrophen but it takes it off for like an hour then its back , I'm so so so tired of wasting my life like this my 3 year old already is showing signs of health anxiety she freaks out about things on her neck I feel sick at the fact I have given her this awful feeling

I know I have bad ha and OCD and depression and a 3 year old who picks up on the fact that I am always at the doctors or always seem to be not feeling great. I have just started 10mg cipromil for all this and also see a counsellor, I am also reading a good book called overcoming health anxiety. I am no way free of it tho and everyday worry about a symptom but trying to not let it take over my mind as when it takes over my mind it takes over my life

You have no appetite because of the anxiety I am the same I just feel sick when I feel worried and don't want to eat. Stress can also make your hair fall out and as for your eyes your doctor would know if there was something to worry about and so would an optician. I am only 25 and with the aches I get I feel more like 95
