Hi everyone,
coming here as I feel I'm in a bit of a spiral. I've been having back aches for a little while (a couple of months) and have been and seen a GP which was scary at this time. He did an exam but as the pain felt quite transient at different times, he said that it was probably muscular/skeletal. As that was also diagnosed through 2 other phone consultations, I agreed that that must be the diagnosis.
prior to that I had put myself in hospital through an anxiety attack and my bloods showed an increased level of bilirubin - a follow up test a week later was just given as 'no action required' so I assume that it was fine.
Now I have a pain at the back of the bottom of my ribs on the right side. To me there feels like there is a lump on the bone when compared with the left side. As well as this it is quite uncomfortable on the front right side of my stomach / top of pelvis when I sit or lean forward.
my mum had kidney cancer surgery two days ago and I'm now worried that I may be having signs of liver cancer given The location and bilirubin results form a few months ago.
can anyone shed any light in similar symptoms and diagnosis?
ive got a phone appt with GP on Weds for anxiety diagnosis follow up, so will mention it then, just concerned that it will be lumped together and classed as all in my head.
thanks for reading.
