Hi
I have been having pain between my shoulder blades and at times radiating down my arm. Off and on- was bad a few months ago then went away now really bad the last few days and getting worse. In my neck too! I just went for my yearly physical and all of my blood work is good. I didn’t mention this to the DR as it was OK then.
I am now in sheer panic mode. I went online this morning and it said that this kind of pain can be a specific type of lung cancer and is often the only symptom - no coughing etc. Also a common form of lung cancer in young women. I am so scared. Too scared to go get an x Ray. All I can think is what if I ignored the pin when it was happening months ago and now it’s too late. Also I read the pain for lung cancer is worse at night and of course I just feel asleep and got a pAin and my eyes opened and I started to panic again.
I have a history of health anxiety but it actually has been a bit better over the last couple of years. This is my first bad bad bout in a while, and I am convinced this time it’s really it! It just feels different and I know something is wrong.
I did go for a massage today and the therapist said my shoulder was so tight she could barely move it! It got better for a bit after but now it’s back and worse- and at rest and at night. I have to call my mind down and just can’t!
