Hi
I havent posted for a while (cause things have been going much better and my health anxiety had pretty much disappeared)
I get married in 2 weeks and conveniently my health anxiety has reared its ugly head :(
Last week, I started noticing a nagging pain under my ribs on the right hand side. I did have a fall about 4 or 5 days before I noticed the rib pain, but I dont remember knocking my ribs when I fell.
I am worried it is my liver or gallbladder or even shingles cause the area is a bit itchy. To top it off I am having an endometriosis flare up.
I saw a nurse at the walk-in centre on Tuesday who said I'd probably bruised my ribs but yesterday my pee was burning and my tummy felt sore so I went back. Saw a different nurse who tested my pee and said it was clear (no infection) but I was a bit dehydrated.
I told her I am worried about it being my liver or gallbladder so she examined my tummy and said there wasn't any tenderness round those organs.
I have been drinking a lot lately and I also suffer with acid reflux. I told her this and she said it could be gastritis that is causing the pain (even though the tummy is on the left, she said pain can be felt on the right)
Anyway I am worrying now about allsorts cause the pain us worse when I bend or cough and I am paranoid its a cancerous tumour or my liver or a stomach ulcer.
Got an appointment to see my GP tomorrow and I am so eorried. I am scared they will refer me for blood tests or scans or an endoscopy :(
So annoyed this is all going on right before my wedding!!!!
