Me again… back with another issue :(

So... for the last 2 and a half weeks I've had this annoying upper back pain. And then last night developed an itch in the same sort of area. 
 

now me being me after the dramas of the ultrasound previously of my abdomen for issues there I have decided that is something disastrous like pancreatic cancer, liver cancer or a spinal tumour. 
 

just a reminder I am definitely overweight, 32 year old female and a history of smoking. So not a great start there!

 

called the Dr after my backache had been there 2 weeks and the receptionist has decided it's not a priority and has booked a telephone consultation in for next week. By which time the pain may have been there for 4 weeks. 

  • Hello Worriedbutpositive, 

    You've taken the right steps in calling the doctor and I hope that this intense back pain resolves quickly. I hope the phone consultation goes well next week. 4 weeks of back pain must be really hard for you to bear and hopefully it won't be long now before you get a resolution to this issue. 

    I am keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
