As you know check my previous posts you will see that my symptoms change Everytime and they have been changing from 2 years ..doctors and everyone says it's anxiety ... Previously 5 days ago I had testicle pain on which I did an ultrasound which came normal urine and blood test normal ... But my plt was low in blood test but doctors said it's ok drink plenty of fluids ..... now my testicle pain is gone after test but I started to have pain in my right leg.. sometimes thigh sometimes knee and even foot ....

Today when I heard about my uncle I was shocked to know that he has cancer . He was suffering from back ache from January 2019 ... He went to doctors ... They said it may be herniated disc some said gout etc ... But yesterday his own son as he is a doctor advised him to go for an MRI . As he did it they ruled out that something is wrong and it was cancer ... From the moment I heard it I am worried that I have cancer also and it has metastasized to my bones ... As he said I used to have pain in my thighs too .... I am worried I have right leg pain now I have also pain sensation in my left leg and back pain and left back side near kidney ... Even today I feel pain in my arms.... Like stabbing my bones ...

Please what could this be .. I am feeling constant pain behind my left back in the kidney ... Even though I did not had this pain before half an hour ... Please can somebody help

Why do I not understand my symptoms...

Do I have cancer also??

No one in a virtual community can diagnose cancer. Please put your mind at ease by seeing a doctor as soon as you can.

How can this happen in 12 hours ,that you have all the same symptoms

Sorry to hear you are having so many things happening. I don’t have any of the pains you mention but I can relate to the anxiety caused by hearing of someone having cancer. I suffer from Health Anxiety and it’s very real for me to get worsening of symptoms when I hear of a cancer diagnosis. I hate it. I try hard to keep my mind from it but I can’t. Even when all my tests come back normal. The relief only lasts a little bit. I have no idea what may be causing your symptoms if it isn’t anxiety induced. But maybe try some sciatica nerve exercises if it doesn’t help it shouldn’t hurt either and take some ibuprofen 800mg every 10 hours for 2-3 days with plenty of water. If nothing improves visit your doctor.

I am really worried right now ... I am having the same exact symptoms he said he is having ..... Although he said he had them from couple of months or more as this is actually a kidney cancer metastasized into his back bone .... I am having pain behind left side of my kidney not that much but dull ... Left leg pain on thighs knneee sometimes foot .... And right leg ache same .... But just two days before i had only testicle pain which I told that I have changing symptoms and pain .... And even though did usg of scrotum ... It was fine ... I am shocked how suddenly I can have pain in both legs ... With left back kidney pain .... Just after I heard it from my uncle

I know what you mean. I don’t intend to downplay your symptoms because they are very real! The likelihood that it’s kidney cancer also for you would be an extreme coincidence. My grandma passed away 8 months ago from liver failure and sure enough a couple months later I got an upper right abdominal pain and my mind raced to my liver! Had an ultrasound and bloodwork and everything was fine. Maybe you have a kidney stone or something even less benign. Try the ibuprofen maybe it’s referred pain from a pulled muscle. Try some epsom salt soaks too. You’ll be ok. Just give it a little time if it doesn’t go away within two more weeks I’d say visit your doctor.

Why am I'll from 2 years,????? Sometimes headache .. sometimes stomach ache with nausea and burning chest pain throat pain and every possible test done . Penile pain testicle pain did usg

.. nothing found they say normal .....

That's why I am getting mad that what is this ??Now listening to his symptoms the same symptoms triggered into me after just an hour .... I never had left back ache before like in kidney it aches .. never had leg pain and too in both legs .... It is totally destroying my soul .... My knees hurt sometimes thighs front side my butt hurts from both left and right leg even the feet and below knees...like both whole legs involved with left kidney aching from yesterday .... 😭 😭

I’m sorry. I feel your frustration. I have had muscle pain, stomach pain and burning, right abdominal pain that worsens at times, headache everyday, neck pain frequently, balance issues, chronic back and pelvic pain, lately have hearing issues and ear pain because of Eustachian tubes. Internal vibrations, fatigue, abnormal bowel movements and also lately a low grade fever...I have had most of these symptoms everyday for the past 15 years and I have had probably all the tests I can think of and nothing comes back malignant. Which I’m grateful for because as much as I hurt. I want to be here for my kids for as long as possible. I’m only 35 years old. Many days I’m angry (like today) because I eat healthier than most and I exercise and my body keeps sending me aches and pains without cause apparently. I don’t even remember anymore what it feels like to feel healthy and pain free. So yes be angry and sad and frustrated...but we unfortunately get nothing out of that. It sucks.
