Anxious overload about doctors
Ive always suffered with anxiety but this week I found another lump in breast area (this time it's really painful) and the doctor bluffed me off asking me to come back in a week if pain persists even though she felt another lump that I had not realised was there and sorta went hmm that's one you didn't know was there huh and then proceeded to ignore it . 4 days later and I'm in agony. My arm aches like hell too and my collarbone chest area is so swollen. I know it's probably benign like the other one was (and the painful ones probably a cyst) but I really won't rest until I go back next week. I'm too anxious to wait but too scared to make another appointment and be moaned at by my doctor. I feel like I'm being so stupid and everyone's convincing me I'm playing on the pain but I'm really not. I mean I still have to work as I don't get paid when I'm sick and I'm trying to keep it together but I haven't stopped feeling anxious in weeks.
@bubbleCurrent2232 Feeling another lump in your breast is scary and when it hurts, I feel it's only normal to be uncomfortable and anxious, I would be. You are not silly for being anxious over this or wanting to see your doctor earlier and if you feel that it's necessary, you should go even if your doctor moans at you which they should not to begin with. Your feelings are valid and it's okay to be scared. I don't know if things will be okay or if the pain will go away, but remember you are stronger than you think and even if things are uncomfortable, you will make it through this
@luxx454 thank you. That made me feel less silly about feeling this way. I made another appointment for today with another doctor. Hopefully this one won't bluff me off. Thank you for replying ❤️
