Oh boy.
So I visit this site a lot, but don’t post much. I take tidbits of advice from all over and try to practise them in my day to day life.
My HA has been better recently, I saw a cardiologist, passed the tests with flying colours and put my heart panic to a rest.
I had some peace between then and now, but now I have such a fear of spinal cancer (or MS).
I do work a rather physical job and about 6-months ago I got this tingling back pain. It’s more annoying than painful, but it wasn’t consistent enough for me to worry.
Today it started again and I decided to check out what it could be on google to see if I should see a doctor. Well, the first thing that came up was spinal cancer so I read about that and have totally freaked myself into a panic attack that this is why my back is tingling.
The secondary ailment google came up with was MS, and though my mind did entertain that thought briefly the spinal cancer fear took over entirely.
Obviously I’m gonna see my GP, but it takes about a week to get in, so alas here I am.
Anyone else with tingly back or went through and survived the spinal cancer anxiety attack?

Its mostly tingly in the same spot mid back, it will sometimes radiate into my butt, but for the most part it’s pretty central to one spot. My hip has also been achey (which I’ve been attributing to an ovarian cyst, though now I’m not sure).
