Hi all
ive been doing my best to keep my HA in check, been doing my cbt, affirmations, got rid of Fitbit etc, etc.
however, sometimes the intrusive thoughts just won’t stay away, and I am spiralling, or maybe this time, it’s not just HA?
so, on Saturday (2 days ago) I was out on a 10 mile hike. As we passed through a village, I fell over, not noticing a big pot hole on the road. I went down like a sack of spuds, falling onto my left side. At the time, I though I had just hurt my left leg and palms.
that evening I started to develop pain my my left ribs,and my left breast. It seems to be getting worse as the days go by. Ther is no visible bruising, but it hurts and radiates around the back, it varies in intensity,. I went out for another walk this morning, and as I went uphill, it hurt a lot more. Could this due to breathing harder because of the incline?
is it possible to have bruised ribs internally, without visible bruising? Why is it getting worse?
im really scared that I am attributing this to my fall, when in fact, it is just a coincidence that I fell, and it’s something more sinister. My Dad and my sister have dies in the last 5 years from lung cancer, and I’m worried it may be familial. 😔
I recently stopped using face powder because I remember my sister used it, and then I started to worry that it may be carcinogenic, and tiny particles are breathed in. My therapist said that I was making links like “ my sister drank water and for cancer, therefore water causes cancer” and of course that seems as ridiculous as it sounds.
I’ve taken some solpadol, but I’m still in pain. Sitting still seems to help a bit
thank you for reading
