I’ve had this symptom before but having anxiety I can’t stop worrying it’s something worse and I guess I’m just wondering if people have had similar experiences.
Well actually I have cerebral palsy which means I can walk using crutches or use a wheelchair. Outdoors I use a wheelchair full time really. I typically have a stronger left side so I use my left arm more and drag my right foot more when walking. I suppose this puts pressure on my left side.

Problem is, I’ve had lower left side pain on and off for 2 weeks now. I mean it’s more when I’m sitting or still than when I walk around the house.
I’m worried it’s ovary cancer even though I’m only 34. My dr gave me antibiotics in case I had a UTI but I only had a couple symptoms so it was precautionary really.

I’m just starting to get scared. Rationally it adds up as muscle damage but my friend anxiety is saying ‘nah it’s definitely terminal’ it’s just getting me down.

Anyone have advice on muscle/back pain or coping with anxiety I’d appreciate it!!

I also seem to get a lot of pins and needs and some pain in my left leg if I sit too long.

Sounds to me like you've maybe pinched a nerve in your lower back. This can maybe cause the symptoms you're describing and in particular if it's made worse after sitting for a while.

That’s true. I appreciate your post. My leg is quite painful today. I’m trying to stay calm.

I spent about 3 hours googling yesterday and I’m feeling pretty miserable at the moment
