Hey guys , I know it seems like every week I have a different problem on my head . I really hope everyone is doing well and I apologize for always making anxiety threads here .

My latest worry is about my Kidneys and stomach area . I had some minor discomfort on my right side stomach, not really pain , just minor discomfort , I then spent some time pressing against the area looking for any bumps or if anything was out of place , that area just gives me a weird feeling here and there .

I also got some minor discomfort feeling from my kidney area . I dont drink caffeine or take any diuretics , I dont drink alot of water at all . I only drink few cups of tea .. some soda with my food ... and couple cups of water per day but yet I feel like I am peeing alot . I maybe go to pee anywhere from 5-8 times per day .
I do not feel any burning sensation when I pee . The color of my pee really varies , sometimes its clear yellow , sometimes darker yellow , most of the time just yellow .

My kidney area just feels really weird and I got a weird feeling on my right side of the stomach , its not pain feeling , but I just notice it . I think I'll go to my doctor tmr to get it checked out , was wondering if anyone had any info , advice on this situation .

Man , it seems like every other week some new anxiety is popping up . I really wana concentrate on my Self Improvement , taking care of my fat loss , going out and trying to meet ppl , trying to get a better life overall ... but my anxiety problems are huge distractions and keeps me paranoid .

MJ,

I often have random pains/sensations that turn out to be nothing to worry about...

...I am sure you'll find these things you are experiencing are the same.

We with health anxiety worries tend to go on red alert due to normal feelings that just about everyone has in their body from time to time.

Get a clean bill of health from your doctor. ..and then really get to work on managing your anxiety with a therapist and /or self help!.:)

Hi Scaredy Cat , I agree , Im trying to tell myself its just a random pain - now that I look back I use to get random pains here and there all the time , but the past 2-4 years OMG , everything is driving me paranoid .

I went to my doctors , he asked me a few questions , took a look at my stomach and touched looking for something , nothing seemed out of place . They took a urine test from me , and I have an appointment next Wed , full body exam , blood work ... then same day I will have to do a ct scan .

I asked him about my swollen lymph nodes and he wasnt concerned , he saw I had some scratch marks behind my ear near the lymph nodes and it was from the pimples I poped there , he determined that was the reason .

I hate it but Im starting to touch my stomach , kidney area , groin just looking for something that is out of place . Oh boy , I pray to God all comes back healthy and good for me , then I can focus on my life and self improvement goals .

Thankfully I found this forum to help me cope through hard times :) :)

Hi Mj, (thanks S.C. that's a suitable short name xD)

Such small pain can be related to many issues, most likely nothing serious. Or else it would get worse by now so rest assured it's nothing serious :) It can be trapped gas, IBS or any other digestive problems.

I was wondering if you have any known problems with gallbladder? Like stones? I'm asking because I experience exactly the same flank (kidney area) and right side stomach discomfort because I have small gallstones. Gallstones don't necessarily mean you will have extreme pain. It can be asymptomatic also. In this case you will feel slight discomfort and small aches on right side, especially after meals.

I am sure your results will be fine and I understand how you feel because I feel the same when I have small random pains here and there. My mind just goes to the wrong direction immediately.

Please update us <3

M.,

I am sure that your results are all going to return as just fine. However, I know that the wait is really difficult!!

Keep reminding yourself that your doctor sees no reason to worry...and a preliminary examination is very indicative, so by all signs...you are healthy and fit...great news!

Stay as distracted as possible, and use your coping skills until you get your official results back...but I am confident you are going to be giving us a happy report.:)

...and yes, then the time is perfect for really focusing on the health anxiety treatment!
