I'm looking for a bit of hope from anyone who's had similar 🙏
Had on and off lower back ache for 2 maybe 3 weeks on left side near top of bumcheek. Started really mild then got really bad about 1.5 weeks in where i felt quite stiff and sore in the morning, then eased off again.
It feels like it's been moving around to middle of back, bum, top of back, so initially I put it down to shit posture as I couldn't think of anything I've done. And I do sit weird but I always have.
It also seemed to pull a bit if I bent down so again put it down to muscular or trapped nerve maybe.
Now for the past 5 days it's settled more towards my side but still lower down, sort of where kidney would be but a bit lower. Not really painful, or achey, but enough to make me 😩 not constant either. Its like a pinching/warm sort of feeling. Now doesn't hurt when I bend over.
Weeing fine, no visible blood, not cloudy unless I've not drunk much. I feel ok apart from when I start spiralling then I feel shit, lethargic, so I convince myself that's the fatigue with the cancer, them I feel even shitter. I'll google (obvs), see something reassuring, carry on googling, then find a story from someone who had my symptoms and it was C, so I go back to shitting myself.
I've been avoiding going to gp in case they do suggest the worst, but feel I do need to acknowledge there's maybe something seriously wrong and bite the bullet. But I'm so very scared.
Does anyone have any stories of hope just to help me get out of this horrible place I'm in just until I do face it and see GP?
Thankyou
