    abdominal tenderness

    So I noticed that when I press down on my stomach the whole area feels a bit sore...It's not an intense pain, but I still decided to google "stomach hurts when I press down on it"...

    I came up with the results "abdominal tenderness is always a sign of a medical emergency" and now I'm panicking. I can't go to an ER, my mom won't let me because this has happened many times before (me panicking about medical emergencies when it turned out nothing was wrong) and I don't wanna wait to see and find out if I'll die or not, which I've done before and it caused me tremendous anxiety.

    I've had this feeling about a year ago, which made me believe that I had colon cancer. Now I'm scared that I actually do have it, even though my fear went away for a long time.

    Help!

    May I ask why you're pressing on your stomach in the first place? I ask because you "noticed" it as opposed to saying it was hurting you. It really sounds like self checking + Dr Google = anxiety.

    Positive thoughts and Merry Christmas

    I often have had tender spots and have had 3 u/s this year. No tumours or problems to date, just sore! Feel better soon
