Doctors words.....

[Carys]

My doctor called and confirmed it sounds like a touch of sciatica

Right well there we go then, diagnosis achieved. There are no more tests and checks needed, I never had any for my crippling sciatica 30 years ago (that needed physio to get moving again), it was all diagnosed on symptoms. So, look up exercises for that and move on.....human bodies have assorted issues as you get older and as 'issues' go this one is incredibly minor.

I just don’t understand how nobody believes me :(

I remember saying that when I had a brain tumour 40 years ago! Absolutely 100 percent convinced I was, had all the symptoms, clear as day yet NOBODY BELIEVED ME. Funnily enough, they were all right.

Your doctor is giving you way too much attention, Jonny. It doesn't help HA.

It’s like having a biopsy, being told it’s benign and still saying it’s cancer. It just doesn’t make rational sense.

I know, everybody apart from me thinks like that!

What do you think the odds are of everybody being wrong and you being right?

He’s been my doctor for years he has tried the blunt approach which made me worse, he just said to me he don’t understand why I can’t believe what’s black and white on the scan

I know I get that, I just don’t get why I’m so caught up on this

I don't think you are spending any time trying to counteract the belief you have with logical facts, self-talk and reassurance. Write down all the reasons why this is NOT the AS back problem thing, e.g. I've had an MRI scan and it showed no inflammation. Through this thread, and from the medics you've seen, you should be able to come up with many many bullet points. Then, when you come back to 'but it must be AS', read them, repeat them, retrain yourself on it.

Thank you I will do that

At least the "Crohns" has taken a back seat..for the time being.

I know, I know what everyone thinks and that I’m pathetic by these worries but they are genuine
