Re: Lower left side back pain
Dear Bruna, I have tenderness in the very same spot as you. Sometimes it really hurts, but I usually only notice it when I’m getting a massage. I’ve had it for over a decade. It cropped up during a time when my health anxiety was well-controlled so I don’t think I’ve ever even mentioned it to my doctor.
I figure if it’s gone on that long, it must Not be anything to worry about. I think the same thing is true for you. So, I agree with “rational” Bruno and Fishmanpa.
Best to you :hugs:
Re: Lower left side back pain
Thank you for your replies, it really helped putting my mind at ease, I usually deal well with this one, but always during that time of the month the pain flares up a bit and I start worrying myself sick again... And I do have a big history of muscle knots on my back so I'm guessing it might be that, still have that little thought on the back of my head telling me it's something worse, it's like I can't control it
Re: Lower left side back pain
That’s the crazy thing about health anxiety. So often there is a rational part part of you that is handling life and your body quirks, but this irrational part takes over and rules. I dislike it very much :mad:
Hang in there. I hope you get feeling better soon. :hugs:
Re: Lower left side back pain
I have the exact same thing. It's right above my hip bone on the left side of my back. For the past 12 months or so it only flared up during the time of my month, but this month it hasn't gone away at all. Problem is, I recently moved and haven't had a chance to go to the dr yet. Am in so much pain at the moment, I will have to go soon.
Re: Lower left side back pain
Mine is right under my ribs, around my waistline... Im really scared as I heard people can go years with pain as the cancer is spreading and then they ignore the pain and when they finally check it out is too late, I'm scared as the doctors didn't even tell me to check it or anything... Im falling down the rabbit hole again
Does anyone else feel like this?
Hey guys, don't know if I'm the only one but everytime I hear about someone dying, especially celebrities I always get really anxious and usually it ruins my whole day... This only happens though when they are young or when it's heart related death, I get really anxious and start thinking the same is going to happen to me. Does anyone know how to deal with this?
Re: Does anyone else feel like this?
Stop reading the articles that cause the anxiety. It's really quite hard to hear or read about these things by mistake, so avoid the media outlets that supply you with these stories.
Re: Does anyone else feel like this?
Yap that's what I try to do, I don't even go to my social network anymore because of that, but there is always a friend or a family member that brings it up
