Feeling a anxious about my health again

I had a tough weekend worrying that my leg pain was something horrible, than reread some of Lucinda Bassett, talked to some friends and felt a lot better. I need to get myself on the right track mentally and physically again. I finally was feeling confident enough to call the doc back today and decided to ask for a complete blood workup and well check to be scheduled as well as seeing me for the leg (since I knew I would procrastinate that as well). My appt is next Thurs since I need time to get blood test back. Now I'm feeling slightly anxious about the legs again! Ugh!!! I really do think it is what the doc suspects though, a pinched nerve, which I know from having sciatica in the past takes a long time to fix sometimes and isn't urgent. Help me put my mind at ease please!

Thanks Anastasia! The doc told me to take Aleve and it does help a little. I am pretty sure the pain is nerve or spine related. Taking deep breaths and relaxing.

You will be okay paniccu:) I know how bad anxiety is and how bad it can get especially when you have something you are worried about. Doctors can do anything these days and they will get you the care you need. That is there job. Do you live with someone? Well another thing that may help is to be around the people you love. Think about good times and how there will be many more good times to come for you. Anxiety can try and try to make you feel bad and worry about every little thing so try and beat it. Try not to worry. Do something you enjoy. Call and talk to someone who you like talking to. When I feel bad, I like to help someone else to feel better or to be nice to someone to make them happy and I find that it helps me to feel better when I help others. I dont know how bad your leg pain is. But if it is bad enough, ask for someone to come and help you with something and enjoy the time spent with them. Get someone to rent some movies and try to watch them. Soak in the bath tub with some soapy and bubbly water. Paint your toenails! I really hope that you feel better soon. Remind yourself that it is just the anxiety that makes you feel like this and that things are really okay. Your leg is going to be just fine. Is there someone who can massage your back or your body to take your mind off your leg. A good scalp massage always feel good. Well take it easy tonight. Put some pillows on the couch and hop on it. Pretend you are a small child and have everyone cater to your needs while you lay in front of the tv on the cushiony couch relaxed.lol Close your eyes for a minute and think of a beautiful beach scene. Imagine you laying in the sand with your feet in the water, watching the beautiful waves:) I hope I am helping you. Well keep posting if you feel bad and I will try and help you.
