Hi

I have health anxiety & believe me , if we keep prodding & poking we will always find something that we havnt felt before

It sounds perfectly normal , & be positive you have some pecks

Please don't go looking , that is the best advice I can give

Love

I agree with whywhy.

I too have health anxiety and I always remember something my late mum said to me years ago when I was worrying over a symptom - 'if you keep looking hard enough you'll find something'!

SO true with our predisposition to prod, poke and examine our every excretion and orifice.

I've done it too many times to remember. Every time scared the sh*t out of myself by then Googling the perceived symptom.

Hi John, reading your question I felt sheer empathy with you..years ago when my Gad n health anxiety where at there worst I would check my body hundreds of times a day until lots of it was sore from all the prodding, keep going over n over the same spot till I was certain it was ok..of course it was just me and my anxiety wanting reassurance constantly

..for me I sought help as tbh it was like an addiction like drugs or alcohol so had to completely stop, with the help of a brilliant psychologist I did learn to control it, thing is im totally the other way now, dont check anything or do any tests..grrrr what we must do eh to get some anxiety relief..take care D
