i'm an 18 year old and 100% convinced i have some type of leukemia. it started with me have lower back pain. so i went to the mirror to see and i found a small yellow/brown spot on my lower back. freaked out thinking it was a bruise but now i am convinced it was a scar of some sort.

while having the back pain, i hit myself resulting in yellow bruises on my back. they went away and i have gotten over that. but now, i had this medium sized bruise on my hip and it was the dreadful color of blue and purple. it's now going away and i find another small bruise on my thigh. i have had joint pain in one finger and in my elbow. also, no matter how much sleep i get, i am still tired during the day. but i have noticed that maybe i only feel fatigued when i think about it.

i had this same fear about a year ago when i was very convinced that i had it and i had to get blood work done in october which i completely refused to go to but it was part of my physical so i had to go and everything came back normal. thats the only thing that puts my ease at mind that i had blood work done 10 months ago but then i'm like "oh no, you definitely have developed leukemia during these 10 months. help anyone, please.

also, i have this weird on and off sore throat type of thing that started this week.

Based on your age, symptoms as well as the forum track record, I'd say no way but is that enough to convince you otherwise?

I would say yes. I also don't remember the last time I had my blood drawn but maybe 3 months after my routine blood work because I was taking pills and they had to check for my liver but I don't know if it would show up if they weren't checking for anything except my liver
