I have a pain in my lower left side kind of where you get a stitch sometimes , had it yesterday whilst shopping rushing around so thought was a stitch , started again today , it comes and goes ,i thought it had earlyer then felt it again , i do suffer with Bowel issues due to stress and health anxiety , of which i have had a few months ago a sigmoydoscopy and bloods done all fine , specialist said it was IBS.
As i am a worryer should i go back and tell him incase its something worse ,or am i overreacting , ...

I have that all the time!

Gp hates me I have shocking health anxiety, had a poorly tummy last night and today it really hurts and I have had back ache for a few days, earlier on I was convinced I had cancer .

I too have IBS and also migraines apparently the two often go hand in hand.

The obvious answer is to 'try not to worry or stress' (excuse me why I just rofl).

I really sympathise, I have been this way for years now and I know it is hard to live with.

I do this sometimes moodgym.anu.edu.au and it really helps, it is online CBT. (sorry for no link, computer is playing up.
