well here I am again after convincing myself last year I had a brain tumour cat scan was normal.
this issue started 9 1/2 weeks ago, mu upper left back felt as though it was burning, went to docs she said "it didn't fit in with anything she could think of " few days later the burning was in my armpit and left side of left breast, I didn't worry to much as had experienced the burning back in feb, however when it didn't disappear after a week, I went into panic mode
from then up until now I have experienced
random shooting pains in left breast
burning in left breast
burning in armpit and underneath armpit on left side
mild itchy left nipple
my nipple doesn't look right (don't know if im imagining this though)
shooting pains in collar bone- left side
shooting pains down left forearm
shooting pains under left upperarm
left sided neck pain
burning in upper left back
I have had 3 examinations from 2 different docs who all say they cant see / feel anything alarming.
I have also had an examination by a homeothapist/gp who prescribed me something for breast pain but it didn't work
my doctor said because it has been more than 8 weeks she will refer me to breast clinic for reassurance, this does put my mind at rest for a little while but then my anxiety rockets again.
now half of me is thinking that if it was anything serious then in nearly 10 weeks there would be other signs/symptoms?
the pain isn't ever that bad - if it was cancer then im assuming the pain would be bad.
also if it was bc then surely the pains etc would have got worse
now there have been a few days in the 9 1/2 weeks when I havebt experienced any pain/discomfort, so im hoping that this is because I wasn't focused on it 24/7
I know I do have health anxiety but I am convinced it is bc :(
