I posted on here last week about my fear of kidney cancer.
I was starting to believe that maybe I was ok, but my HA is through the roof and I can am really struggling to cope.
Basically a few weeks ago I was clening my step sons room when I had this sudden pain to the right of my lower back. Went to docs - he said muscle strain. It started to get better then came back again, so I saw another doc who tested my urine, which was clear. Then I started in the googling route and came up with Kidney cancer. Saw another docs who all felt around my tummy and back, got me to do a variety of movements and then said it wa muscuar. Again I was ok for a bit, but the pain is still there
The pain is sharp and stabbing and intermittant around my kidney, but I am also getting a throbbing ache lower down at the top of my right hip/lower back. I am now terrified that I have cancer which has spread to my bones and that the pain I am feeling is because of this. Also, the pain is worse if I sit down and better when I move. I read that bone pain from cancer is worse when relaxed so am even more terrified.
I can't seem to see the wood for the trees and can't imagine that it is anything as simple as a muscle strain. I have also had some sharp pains in my tummy.
Please can anyone help bring me back to a more rational way of thinking. I just can't seem to cope at all and have been pouring over websites where people have got metastic cancer and had pain like mine.
