I’ve been going really well the last 2 years. About 4 weeks ago I had a problem with the nerve in my arm. Going through tests at the moment. Well me being me thinks it’s something nasty like cancer. It’s getting me down and I’m slipping back again. 😢

Did you do anything to hurt your arm? To cause the nerve issues?

No I didn’t just came on all of a sudden.

Please try not to stress or be anxious about it. I had health problems 4 months ago doctors thought I had breast cancer and leukemia and did about 30 tests for other health issues but by the grace of god all the tests came back good . it took a toll an me mentally, emotionally and physically I end up losing 20lb,hair falling out and almost go insane from it .If it wasn’t for god I wouldn’t be here am just trying to move on from everything that I have been through. God is my savior and protector he will guide me through and I pray he does the same for you 🙏🏾

Health anxiety always jumps to cancer, the worst case scenario. My health anxiety has also been triggered lately and now cancer is on my mind too...

Other possibilities for your nerve issue could be:

- you sprained/hurt your arm without realising it. Maybe you slept in a uncomfortable position?

- you have a vitamin deficiency that effects your nerves. Taking vitamins helped my chronic body problems.

- you have a vaccine side effect. People have reported neurological problems. If you got the vaccine, did you get injected in that arm? Maybe they hit a nerve by accident?

- stress and anxiety affecting you. Were you under lots of pressure before your nerve problem started?

- Best case scenario: it's a harmless, temporary issue that will correct itself. I've had twitches that came from nowhere. My Doctor Google "research" diagnosed me with a terminal condition! 5 years to live! 😭 Instead, the twitches went away by itself within a week or two.

You're doing the right thing by getting tests done. Good luck!
