Back in October I was getting unexplained chest and arm pains, which I asked about in a post on the heart disease forum, as I thought it might be that. I had been experiencing variations of such pains since late 2007. ECG tests revealed my heart to be perfectly fine, but the arm and chest pains (mainly burning on my left side) have subsided a little, but are still there.
2 weeks ago, I started to experience problems emptying my bowels - very small stool, no blood but difficulty going and my anus feeling 'lumpy'. I had this same problem in June 2008, was diagnosed with haemhorroids, and given a cream which seemed to help. But my anus has felt quite itchy ever since and is now feeling itchier than ever. I can feel lumps around and just inside my anus as well, as I did when diagnosed with haemhorroids.
A week ago, I started to experience a dull ache in my left testicle. I had this before too, very briefly in Feb 09, but it soon went away, and I thought no more about it. This time, though, I have had occasional burning pain when urinating and immediately after masturbation, and I seem to be urinating far more than usual.
Then, 2 days ago, I saw a massive bruise on my left pelvis. I assumed I must've knocked it, but I didn't really remember, and it wasn't too painful, only when I pressed on it. It was long, red, and surrounded by yellow, and swollen. I'm really panicking now as I have just discovered that this is where the inguinal lymph node is.
The swelling seems to have gone down now - there is a long red blotch and the yellow surround has faded.
But I'm scared stiff I have anal cancer that has spread around my body. I was worried about anal cancer when I was diagnosed with haemhorroids, simply because in February 2007, I had unprotected anal fingering from a female sexual partner I had only just met.
It was a drunken one-night stand, and I had all the STD tests a few months later which were clear. But I didn't test for HPV because I had never heard of it until I started getting the anal problems in Jne 08.
Could 2 years 10 months be long enough for HPV to become anal cancer and metarstasize to other parts of my body? I'm really scared. I'm under the doctor now, but she is waiting for the results of a chest x-ray I had on Nov 13th when the chest and arm pains were still my major problem. Now everything seems to be moving so fast I don't know what to think. Please can anyone help me before I am next due to see the doctor?
