A few weeks ago, I posted on here theorising that my various 'cancer' symptoms were caused by muscular tension. Today I find myself reading it again and wondering if someone else wrote it as my common sense and rationality seems to have flown out of the window since then.
This is because my symptoms have changed again - something that always puts the fear of God into me. It's mainly the location of the pain which has moved to my upper stomach/back from lower. But I also have other strange symptoms:
Stomach pain - where the ribs join at the front and underneath to the left. It feels as though someone has punched me and I'm winded
A bit of indigestion-type symptoms - hiccup/burping etc
Loose stools
Lower back pain - my spine feels stiff and painful from just above the waist downwards
Upper back pain (this is a new symptom) - both sides - seems to go from my waist area to just under my shoulder blades. Sometimes it feels muscular but sometimes connected with the stomach pain
Palms of hands and soles of feet burning/itching
I don't know what to make of all this but haven't googled as I will terrify myself, but I admit I am starting to get worried I have something serious. Pancreatic cancer is an old favourite but I am starting to think of liver cancer too. When I'm not feeling quite so hysterical I wonder if I might have got something like fibromyalgia.
I'm really fed up of myself and just want to be symptom free. Would anyone out there be so kind as to talk some sense into me before I go off to see my poor GP again?
