Hi,
Used to post but forgot my username:blush:
Suffer from health anxiety most of my adult life but seems to come in fits and starts.
At the moment im beside myself Cancer is doing my head in I seemed to find symptoms for all abdominal cancersover the pat few weeks. I seem to get over it but this time m really scared I have been so so so silly and googled tailbone pain and even read up on some cancer forums about it and now im convinced ive got rectal cancer.
My symptoms are vague tailbone pain/pressure pain on oneside of my back and pain down through my buttock.
When im stressed out about things I do get constipated over the weekend ive had a couple of normal, no blood stools.
if I actually managed to do something to take my mind off it (which isn't often lately) I have no pain.
I am fine through the night and no pain when I wake up just as the day goes on.
Do you think
a. I need to see the doctor about the pain and
b. Do need to see the doctor about going back on medication to calm my anxiety symptoms.
If it was cancer would the symptoms and pain go away when im sleeping or do you get pain all the time.
Really am getting fed up with this anxiety this time ive got 5 kids to look after and its getting a bit of a struggle
