Nervous wreck

[Lynl]

Sitting at oral surgeons waiting for them to feel a bump that can't be seen but can be felt , inside the under part of my tongue, a couple weeks ago I bit it very bad but that's all healed and I'm a freaking wreck. I'm not sure it's even cased by biting it. I'm really scared

Hang in there .you'll b o.k. us people with anxiety tend to freak over nothing. Let me know

[MKatic]

Let me know Lnyl it's probably nothing

Thank you, they said 99,9% it's nothing bad , let's check in 6 weeks but she thinks there's no need to biopsy now. Now that sounds confusing to me, but she says she knows how I am and it doesn't feel like anything to her as far as being bad she does feel a little bumpy but it could be scar tissue or it could be the way I bit into my tongue and she could do it a little biopsy on it but she says she would probably be putting me through that for nothing so to come back in six weeks. And I Aster if it's still there in six weeks, does that mean there something bad? And she said no but for my peace of mind we would discuss how we wanna deal with it if I want to do a biopsy to ease my mind. I just wonder what she let me go six weeks if there was a chance there could be something wrong

I would say to trust the surgeon. He or she is trying to decide whether it's worth the cost of the biopsy to reassure you, when most likely there is nothing dangerous there.

If it makes you feel better, I have a few lumps on my arms and back. My doc immediately identified them as cysts (lumps of fat), and nothing to be concerned about.

Yes I have those too. Thank you

I have had many bumps, sore spots, etc that I was convinced was something major and they all turned out to be fine. Our brains are not rational all the time and create negative thoughts. I give something a week and usually whatever it is is gone by then.

Glad it's nothing .don't dwell on it or your mind will get crazy thinking about it.

I am the same way. I panic over everything. I have a bump on my arm. And have had lots of dental problems.

[Lynl in reply to KrierandRosie]

It plays on your mind so much . Ugh

[KrierandRosie]

Every day is a struggle to stop the negative feelings, fear of what might happen. None of us can really control everything that may happen to us and it is kind of dumb to worry all the time, but it is hard to control.
