Physio Anxiety

[Shed3]

Hi im diagnosed with health anxiety and I'm due to start physio tomorrow following a knee cap dislocation 8 weeks ago. I have had the same injury previously. On one occasion 16 years ago I was unable to bend knee for months before having to have A Manipulation of knee under anaesthetic .

I am fearful this will happen again, that the physio won't work, that the physio will cause more pain. I'm not sleeping properly or eating. The dread I'm feeling about tomorrow's appointment is awful.
