This is the 3rd time I’ve posted on here... I’ve been checked numerous amount of times my heart and lungs are all fine even went the get checked by a doctor because I was convinced I had a brain tumour but once again my brain is fine.. now I keep getting aches in my calf’s and front of my legs and basically all over my body, doctor said it’s nothing serious but why would I keep getting aching pains.. I’ve been using google ( worse mistake) and it said about Leukemia so I have no been obsessed over the idea that I had that I keep checking my self for random bruises keep poking myself to see if u bruise easily... my eyes are deceiving me because I keep thinking I can see bruises but doctor and family can’t I’m going insane what can I do?
P.S
Sorry this is long winded
Hey I know how you feel I’m convinced I have a brain tumour I tell myself everyday it’s weird,I wait for headaches to happen but I’ve just not long got myself over the lukemia situation. I seen a post about someone who died she had bruising on her legs which made me start to panic a lot I have aching legs everyday and whenever a bruise appears I scare myself! I have health and generalised anxiety disorder and it’s aeful
It’s horrible I wake up everyday looking for things on my body.. I’ve been checked over by so many different doctors and they have all said I’m fine I’m just scared they have missed something, I have health anxiety also

I get tightenss under my breast by my diagram it come and go .. I don’t know what’s happening .. I just say to myself I will I have to relax and clear my mind try and do some yoga and take a trip and ty and clear your mind it’s not easy trust me I know and I am trying my best to deal with the situation myself .. sorry I can not be of much help to you but I hope you get better soon ..
Courtney,
Let me tell you something. I have been your position 6 months ago. I thought i had MS and some other horrible tests. First get all tests done. Once doctor gives you clean chit. Please accept it and don't try obsessing on it. Feel greatful that you are healthy , its all in your head and your mind is playing games.
Today I regret over think ing and all the panic i caused for my self. If you know about anxiety you might have heard about brains flight and fight mechanism. When you encounter your brain starts fight mode to be able to react to danger. But continuous panic or stress is not good for neither your brain. I obsesees about my symptoms of anxiety thought it to be MS or brain tumour. After been to countless doctors and getting affirmation its just anxiety. I trusted the diagnosis. But what i have caused to my body cannot be undone. Now my mids flight and fight mechanism has gone haywire. All my symptoms related to anxiety but I started getting pains all over body from bicep, thights to legs. Now i suffer from pains which could be fibromyalgia. I didn't get diagnosis, as it take years. Now i have accepted that i have fibro. But i need not obssess or stress my self for it. As it could add more trauma. Stress is major reason to get hypeetension, diabetes at early age
Leading to more severe health problems. I now find happiness in small things. Like yesterday inspite of mild pains i did shpping and walked for 2 hrs . Which is a great thing for me.
Hope this helps!!
Hi,
This is how anxiety disorders work, your nervous system has convinced your brain that something serious is wrong, this is a completely natural process because your sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves a so sensitised and gives your brain these irrational thoughts, once given the all clear, even after a second opinion leave it and work on retraining your thoughts, easy said than done I know but it can be done. panic/anxiety is always uncomfortable but it's never painful.
