Hey everyone...
Why am I still so concerned about my health when I have been re-assured by health professionals? I guess from reading on forums that people have had my worst feared disease (DVT) and ignored by many doctors that I am beginning to believe I am gonna be gone soon because I'm being brushed off. I haven't seen a doctor in a good while and recently had an ultra sound to rule out a lump I've had. I just am so exhausted by my anxiety, my breathing sometimes feels restricted but I can still breath if that makes sense when reading these articles/stories. I know it is good to be informed but I am just so annoyed with myself for finding these horror stories. I have no risks for a DVT but it scares me to death. The symptoms I have is an occasional shooting pain in my thigh that I've had for about two months now since getting a muscle pain there. Been feeling an occasional pain in my calf that dissappears and a buzzing pain in my knee. I can work out and walk everywhere just fine, the leg has no discolouration, redness or warmth anywhere. Rationally I know I haven't got one, but after reading these stories my anxiety is screaming at me I'm leaving it too late for any sort of treatment. I'm not asking for re-assurance, I just want to know if anyone else has this horrible disbelief too about a serious condition and finds it hard to believe that everything is okay.
Take care
