So, off and on for since last fall, so almost a year, I have had this pinpoint pain to the left of my navel a couple of inches. I have been to the doc twice about it and he does not seem worried, to the point where he has not tested me for anything, really.
He is a good doctor, so I am trusting him. He knows about my HA, and is understanding.
But, it is hard for me to trust that something isn't going on. You guys know how it is, the doc tells you not to worry, and for about 15 minutes you feel great. Then the what if scenarios begin, and by the time I have driven home from the appt all reassurance is gone.
So I come here. If I had stomach or colon cancer, (I wont belabor you with my symptoms, as most are anxiety induced) but IF I did, and had it for a year or better, the pain would be persistent and progressive, right? I would have other symptoms I expect too.
The thing is, I don't have other symptoms. This one intermittent pinpoint pain to the high left of my navel, which comes and goes. I have no weight loss, no problems at all (other than I am tired all the time, but that is just life and I know it), so why can't I just let go? If I have had this for a year (almost) and nothing has gotten worse, (not better either mind you) and I have no other symptoms (other than indigestion and gas) why can I not let go?
