I have suffered from on and off sciatic pain, or what I thought was that on and off for over a year now. Finally had an mri and got the results today- thinking I’d be told nothing to worry about. However I’m now totally freaked out as the doctor said there was blood pooling and lesions on my spine. So have been sent for urgent blood tests and another mri. Doctor says try not to worry but I lost my dad to lung cancer which spread to his spine so I’m now really panicked. Doctor asked if I coughed up blood or night sweats- I have neither. I’m 41- should I be worried, or is this just precautions?
