Hi everyone! There's two things that have been bothering most over the past year. Wondering if anyone does the same?
1. Every day I find myself searching my body for lumps, bumps, and tender spots. It's useless because when I find them I don't know if they have always been there or are new, what they are, etc. This all started when I had some lipomas (benign fatty tumors) diagnosed.
2. To go along with this I am so acutely aware of pain now. It's funny because while I won't care at all about a badly sprained ankle or something, I will freak when I poke an area of my body and it hurts more than another area. This leads me to believe I have something unnatural causing me pain. Bad description sorry.
Anyone else do these things? Any suggestions for how to stop? When i start feeling around I tell myself to stop but usually convince myself it will help anyway! When i feel pain and start worrying I tell myself its just anxiety. But how do I get my pain threshold back to normal?

I should add between lipomas, lymph nodes, muscle knots, pressure points... and anything else under our skin... there's plenty to get my attention!
