Hi thank you for reading this post.
I’m 39 yrs old and have had excruciating back and hip pain both sides for 6 months or more. Also on both or mostly my right side I get agonising pain.
I do check google and obviously am so fearful.
I sometime get tiny red or black dots randomly on my body. My HA is through the roof. I weigh myself religiously and am terrified of someone thinks I’ve lost a pound or two.
Sometimes paracetamol and ibuprofen take the pain away and sometimes when I’m relaxed I can go a few hours but that is it.

Please help. Terrified I have ovarian or stomach or bone cancer.

Thanks for reading.

Honestly, ovarian cancer isn't especially common, and you'd probably have had more symptoms than just pain.

That said, and I say this as a huge wuss myself, only your GP can get to the bottom of this; wouldn't it be better to start thinking about getting it sorted out if it's impacting your life so strongly?

The red dots sound like petechia, think that's how you spell it, not sure. Very common and turn black when they die off. I have them. Thousands of people have them. Completely harmless, just little spots of blood. Something you get as you get older.
A wellbeing physio therapist might be an option for the back pain, but as BlueIris has said, a trip to your GP would be the first port of call. Better than sitting and suffering.
