Hello
I haven't been on here for a while
I have had a bad back and knee now since February - I think it is muscular and have had physiotherapy but it is affecting my running which I do to not stress out and I have had loads of physio for it both in work and privately which has helped but it is not 100% better
Last week after going for a wee I noticed I felt like I wanted to go the toilet again straight after which has weird
I have been like this for a week now - I rang the doctor yesterday and she said It was probably a water infection. She prescribed anti-biotics, but said to drop a water sample. She knows I suffer with health anxiety and referred me last year to CBT which I have nearly finished with, it helps but when your 100% stressed it all goes out the window
I already had an appointment with another doctor for today to talk about my back issues and I told her how I was worried that the back issues were not really muscular but that I had ovarian cancer due to this sudden wanting to wee all the time -
she booked me in with another doctor to talk about this Thursday but in the meantime to try not to worry and that I must stop googling and go ahead with my appointment today to discuss my knee and back
I went the doctor today and he asked me loads of questions more so about my ovarian cancer worry and then the back pain - he was basically said it is the anxiety probably making it worse than it is and that I don't have any red flags for ovarian cancer and to try not to worry - he wants to see me in a months time for a review and to concentrate on my cBT and mental health :blush::weep: he said if there was a magic test he could do he would but there isn't and sending me for blood tests etc would increase my anxiety
My water sample is also clear btw so I am no nearer the answer why I want to wee more. (said I might have cystis or my IBS was affecting it) we ran out of time to talk about my knee so he suggested I use the appointment to sort my knee out that was bothering me as we ran out of time
do you ever feel that your just brushed off and everything is put down to anxiety?
I am planning to go for a private ultra sound and blood test but I am in two minds and wondering if I am really having a replapse with my mental health issues and anxiety
the past few weeks have been stressful my nan is terminally ill with cancer (my phobia) and my husband looses patience with me with regard to my health anxiety so I have not talked about my issues
