worried
| Thu, 07-28-2005 - 10:18am |
A few days ago i was sitting on the couch using my laptop, and all of a sudden of upper back started cramping. anyway, it hurt all day and then went away for a couple of days. now the pain is back, and it's worse. I can barely move my head because it hurts my upper back so much. Im really worried that it's something serious like meningitis or something
:( i dont know what to do with my self. i know it's irrational, i don't have any other symptoms...and it's my back, not my neck that hurts. plus, i can still do everyday activies like go the gym and walk to school and stuff.
what do you guys think?? should i be worried? or should i give it a few more days to see if it goes away?
thanks!!
Mia


I would definitely see a dr. Even if they say it is nothing to worry about, you will have your peace of mind back.

hi Mia,
Before I know i had anxiety I had a pain in my back. It was AWFUL..
anyway, I went to the Dr and they asked if I had done anything to it. I said that I hadn't.
He said that it was my sciatica and that I must've just pulled it somehow. I was really stumped about it though because I know that I didn't hurt it.
A few weeks ago I was reading about anxiety and such and i read that anxiety can cause sciatica pain... it seems as thought that's happened to me.
i would still go to your Dr. and make sure but I just wanted to let you know what happened to me.
Take Care!
thanks for your responses! by some miracle, i actually got an appointment with a real doctor for tomorrow at the student health center. I was worried I would have to go see one of the medical students, but luckily I dont. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. I still can't seem to be able to relax today...i feel restless and figdety :( i know it's the anxiety, but I dont want to take a klonopin, because i've been without it for almost 2 months now!

be from leaning over it for a long period of time?
Jan W. We worry about what might be because we are so GOOD AT IT!! LOL
I have no idea why we do this but I would guess most people
are this way! Not just us with Anxiety!! Take care, Judy
