Side Pain

[LeoAnon]

My side has been hurting off and on for a few days. 🥺 I am going to make a doctor's appointment to get it checked out tomorrow but I'm freaking out. My mind says it could be my appendix rupturing and I'll get septic and die or have to get surgery and die. Or a kidney stone where I'll have to get surgery and die. Or cancer. Ive had a kidney stone before and it feels like it's in the same area. 🥺🥺🥺 I just feel it on my right side below my rib cage. It's just like a pressure warm feeling. 🥺 But I also started a job and it might be a pulled muscle. But it has a knot in it. Maybe a hernia. Or from carrying my daughter or the car seat. I am just a freaking WRECK.😭😭😭😭😭

Take deep breath literally lol 😃and if the pain gets a little worse it's probably just muscular

After I read what I wrote please don't take that I'm making light o your situation it sucks to be in pain and to be worried about I just hate when I'm freaking out and somebody tells me to take a deep breath so it was just meant to lift your spirit with a little humour.i too have had kidney stones and often pull a muscle right there by the ribs and it always gets worse when I take deep breath so hopefully that's all it is for you I hope you find comfort soon.

Thankyou for your reply and thankyou for coming to clarify. I would never think you were trying to make light of it.

As it always does, your mind is exaggerating this pain and coming up with the worst possible scenarios. That's what sensitised nerves do to all of us, you are no exception. Your imagination is working overtime.

But you knew all that. You are absolutely right in going to see your doctor to check it out, it will give you the reassurance you need. Let us know how you get on.

I haven't put ice but I will try. It helps when I put pressure on it but I'm scared something bad will happen
