Hi All 32 year old female. I will start by saying I have severe health anxiety since having a baby 2 years ago. I started having back pain in my left shoulder about a month ago. Pain would sometimes radiate down my arm and across my chest and neck. I am heavy chested so I am used to having some back pain. The rest I assumed was from carrying around my very heavy toddler. Also about a month ago I noticed what I assume now is steatorrhea occasionally after a bowel movement. Sometimes I feel like I need to go to the bathroom but only mucus like substance comes out. Also for the last week or so I have been experiencing pain in my lower back under my rib cage and sometimes in the front as well. Again, thinking this may be from repetitive strain. Last night I had loose stool again followed by the muscus like substance. I have not had much of an appetite either but unsure if this is from anxiety or something else. i have also noticed more burping lately with or without eating I am seeing my doctor in a couple days but wondering it anyone has any words of encouragement as I have myself drove insane from researching and worrying and fearing the absolute worst
Hi, it’s scary not knowing what is going on, I’m in the same situation with my husband.
Always advocate for yourself, you know yourself better.
I keep telling myself, one day at a time and that all of our worrying won’t change the outcome of any test. (he has more test next week)
I hope you have someone you can talk to, I have a counselor, because I can be more honest and open with her. I can’t tell my husband how scared I am.
Keep us posted and prayers for all.
