View Full Version : dr again
Evening all, well once again I have been to the drs, probably section me soon, so this time it was because I thought I had a lump under my arm, anyway he checked said its tendons, muscle etc, also upped my prozac to 60 mls as he believes I have ocd, anyway feel a bit better but still can't stop prodding, please can someone tell me how to overcome this, it is constant and just fuels my anxiety xx
Have you ever tried CBT? Or another form of therapy?

Has your GP offered you any support treatment. If not go back and ask to be referred.
This actually happened to me and it was sort of my rock bottom. I bruised up my arm really well convinced I had a lump in it but it was my muscle. Honestly while waiting for CBT you need to actively take the reins to stop the prodding and the googling.
I know, I'm really trying, I still keep prodding the muscle, its madness, I still keep thinking its a lump, I do have it on the other side but not as prominent, I am right handed which is the bigger muscle, I wish this would all go away xx
Have a read of the Health Anxiety booklet on the NHS Tyne & Wear site, Herbie.
http://www.ntw.nhs.uk/pic/selfhelp/
Might have a few helpful pointers in there.
Edit: Direct link to pdf here (http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hypochondria/Documents/Health%20Anxiety%20A4%20%202010.pdf).
Thank you, I have just downloaded it, will give it a read xc
