Hey, I don't suffer from health anxiety but just curious if anyone has had something similar to this.
Back in about March I started having pain behind my left knee and back pain which i thought would go away but gradually got worse and they also constantly crack. Went to my GP in July and honestly she couldn't have cared less, told me it was my depression (yeah right!) and gave me a leaflet on joint pain which is absolutly useless. So after a few days i noticed a tender lump on the bottom of my spine as well which was where the pain was in my back so I went to a different GP and he was pretty much the same as the last. Gave me some pain pills and told me to come back when i finished them. Finished them 4 weeks later and phoned for an appointment to find out he retired 3 weeks ago! So after eventually getting an appointment with someone else and now having constant pain in my back and leg (struggling to stand for more than half an hour) she booked me in for an x-ray and blood tests which were fine and now getting an ultra sound sometime soon on the lump. I had to phone in sick to work last week as I couldn't handle the pain anymore. I've also got a huge boney lump on the same foot as my leg pain but my foot doesn't hurt.
Anyway sorry for the long post, needed to get that off my chest and wondered if anyone can relate to these symptoms? I've been googling alot and to be fair it could be a wide range of things. Not worried about what it is but would just like to know what it is. My major issue is that I hate how the docs relate everything to depression.
