I’m really worried. I’ve been ill for months and I’m scared

Last year I had to suddenly go to a+e for severe abdominal pain.
No real cause was found. Had scan for kidney stones etc but the pain was unbearable. After a couple of weeks it settled but has never fully gone.

Went to gp who could feel a lump and thought it may be a hernia. Had to wait ages for a scan but the sonographer asked where did it hurt and immediately saw an enlarged lymph gland and said ‘oh that’s it then I dont need to check anything else it’s a reactive lymph node’

I’ve felt no better, sometimes worse.
I’m also now very anaemic and feeling awful.
Had an appt then to see a dr at hospital I’m case it was gynae related she too said she could feel a mass so I’d need another scan but that’s not till next week I’ve had to wait 3 weeks for it.
I’m scared what they might find as I feel so unwell.
I have back and hip pain and exhaustion I have a taste like metal or poison all the time and I feel so run down. I have rashes and I can’t stop crying emotionally somethingbos wrong.
I’m worried maybe it’s psychological? I’m a way I hope it is but all the time I’m in pain
Has anyone ever had similar symptoms? I’m really worried what they might see and I wish I’d been fully scanned the last time

Sorry you’re feeling so unwell. I think if it was anything serious, somebody would have picked up on it by now. Though serious or not, you should be getting more help to get to the bottom of it.

Maybe mention to your doctor how it’s making you feel?

Anaemia will make you feel that rubbish on its own so try to bear that in mind.

Anaemia cm give you that metallic taste. And will make you feel shocking - I was convinced I was dying of something dreadful when I had severe anaemia.

A few years ago I had similar and it turned out I had PCOS. I thought I must have something really wrong with me cos I felt awful all the time, cried with pain in lower right abdomen, ended up in A&E several times, constantly had infections etc etc. Hope you find out what's wrong, try not to worry too much Thanks Also don't google! I convinced myself I had various types of cancer!

When you’re in pain it makes you depressed and seriously fatigued. So, I don’t want to minimise what you’re feeling, but please be kind to yourself and know that the pain is dragging you down mentally.

Can you call and make a but of a fuss and see if you can get an earlier appointment?
