Hi, I have gotten myself into a bit of a state over the last ten days or so. I have had panic and anxiety attacks for years and think I have had every symptom going:wacko:
Since having my baby 18 months ago my back hasnt been right but over the last couple of weeks I have had severe burning in my buttocks, pain in my legs and feel very heavy in my private area and bottom. I've managed to convince myself I have cancer down there and I have been worrying myself sick. Went to the dr and was just asked if my bowels are ok, bladder ok etc etc and said she's not really concerned as no bleeding, severe pain etc etc. She said it could be a trapped nerve but how could a trapped nerve affect that area. It really hasnt put my mind at rest at all.
Could I be making these symptoms worse because I'm focusing on them too much and worrying about them constantly? I just dont understand how being anxious about it could cause me real pain. I totally get the shortness of breath, dizziness and countless other things I get as have had them for a long time.
Sorry to waffle on but I'm a single mum of two and I hate this. I try to hide it and act normal in front of my children but I constantly have a knot in my stomach and could burst into tears at the thought of something happening to me and leaving my kids :weep:
Thanks in advance of any replies xx
