Bad day, fed up

[Mr m anxious]

I was doing well for about a week but once again got up this morning with aching left shoulder, neck and chest and feared the worst. Of course by fearing the worst I make myself tense and I ache even more, yes...the anxiety vicious circle. Neurologist in less than two weeks now, hopefully he'll put my mind at rest and tell me it's all tension and not a disease which all the doctors ive seen so far have said.

I feel the exact same way. I'm at my wits end. I've been having severe pain in my left arm/side of my chest and tingling and all other sorts of problems on top of my headaches. Yet my doctor won't even refer me to a neuro. I feel like I am going crazy sometimes. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you are having a bad day :hugs: Not long to go until your appointment then you will be reassured.

Poppi sorry to hear your the same but like me it's probably tension. My tense mucles are putting pressure on my nerves so I too am getting tingles in my arm, neck and left side of face. I'm really trying to be logical about all of this but it's so hard.

Mr m,

I am feeling your pain (quite literally).

My neurologist appt isn't for EIGHT weeks, so god knows how I am going to manage till then. Good luck with yours. Please update me after your appt as my symptoms are identical to yours, so I will be interested in what tests they do on you :)

I am having a bad time at the moment too, but like you, I try and tell myself it is all muscle/nerve pain.

Thank you, Yes for me I think it's tension and I know exactly what you are going through. It's so hard to stay calm I know I am awake at night imagining the worst things. Please keep us updated on your progress and how everything goes.

Thanks poppi and Charlie I will keep you posted, I should believe all those doctors I've seen but seeing the neuro feels like D day and the moment, he's my last hope although still might not find anything out, may need MRI.
