I'm hoping someone can talk some sense into me.
I've been suffering from lower back ache on and off for about three weeks now. Some days it's not so bad, (in fact last week I thought it was getting better) other days I feel it more in my left hip. I also feel it more when I'm sat at my desk whereas it's not too bad when I walk. To add to my worries, this morning after being sat at my desk for a long time with my legs crossed I stood up and could feel pins and needles down below. That's the second or third time I've felt that since the back ache started.
I can't see my osteopath until Sunday and I can't get a doctor's appointment, (even if I could I'm too scared to go) If someone was telling me their symptoms I would probably tell them it's nothing but backache and perhaps sciatica so why am I thinking it's something really bad like cancer. :( I feel like bursting into tears but I can't because I'm in work.
