Hi,
I'm 32 and suffering horrendous anxiety waiting for my referral appointment.
2 years ago last Nov I had a car accident and I was in the back, nothing major, but someone hit the car from behind and I suffered with suspected whiplash which has never fully gone away, only got worse/spread. I've seen, physios, chiropractors, orthopaedic consultants, GP's and non of which can give me a n answer to what's going on. I have a full ache down my right arm, neck and shoulder blade pain which is contactly there. My upper body is literally stiff as anything recently and I'm 'clicking' all over the place when I move from a position.
Anyhooooo, you get the idea. So, more recently I have experienced a change in my breathing, not so much that I'm gasping for breath but I feel as though it's harder to breath in. I also found a lump in my right breast, so I went to the GP yet again. First time I was told it's just normal breast tissue, second time I was told 'I could convince myself there is a lump there' and was referred for an urgent breast screen last week and was told that it could not be until the end of Jan-beginning of feb due to covid. So I went back to my GP today (yes sunday, who knew) where she said that yes there is a definiate lump and I should appreciate and realise how lucky i was that actually I will be seen quickly and need to just wait it out, and she's didn't really let me get a word in really. I feel as though the GP's I have seen are really dismissive. I've not been sleeping, panicking that my accident may have been a red herring and it's all I can think about, I also have ADHD and find it really hard to switch off my mind which is not great either.
I feeL like we are told constantly to check our boobs etc and get things checked as soon as possible but when you are actually concerned, you get fobbed off in return.
After writing all of that, I'm not entirely sure what my question is apart from does anyone have any thoughts or ideas that may help?
Thanks in advance
