Dear all,
I'm pretty ashamed to be here again looking for support but am in the middle of some kind of episode where I just can't get back on an even keel.
Please, any advice or words of encouragement would be very, very welcome.
I've developed a dull ache on the right hand side of my back, about half-way up. It sort of moves around, sometimes it's more near my shoulder blade and at other times it's a bit lower down but it's mainly around the mid back area. It seems to be located around the muscle that runs down the right side of my spine. Last night it felt like it was twinging when I twisted but today it doesn't seem to be doing that.
I lifted a large sheet of wood about two weeks ago by myself and this back stuff started about a week ago. It's not massively painful nor is it there all the time which makes me wonder if it's a muscle strain at all. I stupidly read on one of the NMP forum posts that pancreatic cancer gives you a pain in the back...so you can guess what my overactive mind is doing. I'm convinced that the pain isn't in the muscle but deeper inside and it's the sign of cancer.
I've booked in to see a chiropractor tomorrow to see what he says about it and I'm desperately hoping that he'll convince me it's just a pulled muscle or something. My worry is that he'll say that and I'll still go on freaking that it's cancer.
For some reason this is scaring me more than normal and I'm convinced that it's something really bad.
Any thoughts would be very welcome.
Cheers
Dan
