aching leg - startign to panic again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jackie16]

for the past 3 weeks now i have had an aching in my left leg, like when you get really tired and your legs get heavy and ache. i can't seem to shift it though. went to docs yesterday cos i was scared it was dvt, did long haul flight about a month ago - worry and panic was beginning to set in again. doc said it coudl be back related. anyone else get this kind of thing.

also been getting a tightening feel sometimes across my stomach just above belly button - about an inch above. panicking about that now as well. though probably just due to ibs cos of all the rubbish i have been eating cos i feel anxious and when i feel like that i eat and eat. one big vicious circle. it is starting to really get me down though.

please can someone reassure me that i am not the only one to get aches and pains like this.

i get this, apparantly its starts when your dehydrated and then because you can feel the achyness you start to tense the muscle a lot almost in an attempt to stop the ache but this just makes it ache more. Nothing to worry about at all x

wow thanks mary..makes sense. i am in insane heat adn humidity now. but my anxiety niggles away with... why only one leg and not both if i am dehydrated!
but yes i will focus on changing my thought patterns and go with that...

yeah not sure about why not both legs but thats the mystery of our bodys, if it all made sense we probably wouldnt worry half as much as we do! x
