Hi, I have posted a couple of threads recently regarding my latest anxiety. I have been suffering from very painful neck/shoulder/arm. Went to my GP 2 weeks ago and he told me I have a trapped nerve. The pain still hasn't gone, it starts from my spine, that 'bobbly' bone right at the top of your back and goes to my shoulder blade and then down the outside of my arm. I am worrying myself sick that I have a tumour on my spine. I have just had some blood tests and my blood count and inflamation levels (whatever that is) were all normal which I suppose I should feel positive about, but I don't. I have looked on the internet about spine cancer (I know that's the last thing people with HA should do) and it does say that this type of cancer is very rare and normally a secondary cancer.
I am otherwise fit and well but am now beginning to give myself other physical symptoms (nausea and loss of appetite) because I am getting so anxious, but then that makes me feel like I do have something seriously wrong with me. It is completely taking over and I can't feel positive about anything. Every morning I wake up with this horrible churning stomach and just don't know how I'm going to cope. My husband, who is normally so supportive and strong is now beginning to get a bit fed up with me constantly worrying that I have a tumour.
I know the only total reassurance I am going to get is an MRI scan but that could takes weeks to get. My GP did tell me that this injury could take between 6/8 weeks to get better. Has anyone else sufferred similar symptoms and did it take a while to settle down? I would be so grateful if you could respond as I just don't know where else to turn. Thank you.
