i have been trying my best to stop googling and i was doing good for several months until i recently found a huge lump on the back of my thigh..im so scared. its firm and it hasnt went down for a couple of weeks. i googled it once a few weeks ago but i tried to forget about it until tonight when i noticed its gotten firmer (i think??) so i went on google and read this girls story about her having the same thing and it ended up being cancer, she had to go through chemo and surgery. my three biggest fears. im freaking out and i dont know what to do because everyone always blows off everything i say since i have anxiety..
magicalpeach…don’t ever let anyone blow you off for having anxiety (or anything, for that matter!).
stop googling (I know, I do,…but a little info can be dangerous!)…and go see a doctor! there could be a perfectly innocent explanation!
A lump on the back of your thigh doesn’t sound like anything sinister? A lump is usually like a breast lump or a swollen lymph node, but neither of those would be in that area of your body. My husband has a small hard lump on his forearm, been there for years. Doctor said it’s nothing worrisome. I suggest you go see your Dr and he will probably reassure you that it’s nothing serious and then you’ll feel better =) Weird things pop up on our bodies all the time!
thank you ! i get tired of it, ANYTHING i say about my health is automatically anxiety. one time i got sick and i felt like i was seriously going to die, everyone was telling me it was “just anxiety” or “just a common cold” i ended up freaking out and going to the emergency room and i had bronchitis bad.. every time i bring up an illness or something going on with me i get a lecture, so i stopped talking about it. But i found a lump so i had to come on here! sorry for the long reply. thanks for yours!
thank you, i might go to the doctor. i kind of calmed down now but im still nervous. NO more google for me !
hi magicalpeach…have you called a doc?
let me, let you in on a lil’ somthin’ bout myself. I don’t know where it comes from, but I’ve worried about my health for LITERALLY as long as I can remember! it makes NO sense as no-one in our family has had health problems until well into their 80’s!!
that being said, when I was 4yrs old (!!!) I had a dream I had cancer in my leg and had to have it amputated!!!
FOUR YEARS OLD!! I still remember it vividly. LOL…it’s gone down hill from there!
I’m not sure if the point I’m trying to make except I’m ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN anxiety’s always played a great part in all this! I didn’t ask for it (neither does anyone) I guess I’m just lucky and was born with it:sad_but_relieved_face:

hang in there my friend…
i haven’t been to the doc for this but before july i went to the doc 28 times within a 6 month period. i keep getting “you are determined medically frail” letters from my insurace ! i tried to stop going but i ended up in the ER a few weeks ago with a panic attack. you were 4 years old!!! ive been stuck in health aniexty for 6 years now and it feels like my entire life. im sorry you went/are going through that. you should message me sometime so we can talk more..im trying to hang in there but its a bumpy ride. one decent day and then several horrible months 
thankk you for your replies <3
