Health conserns should I beleive my Doctor

I have been feeling pains in my kidneys and left chest below my ribs and now in my back.  

I have had xrays done on my chest, blood for kidneys and pancreas , and urine taken.  All normal.  I have two weeks ago had Ultra sound done on all my organs and all are normal.

I still feel pain in my back and sides which my doctor says it muscle related.  Should I get more test or what.  I am thinnking about it way to much and worried as normal.  

I am 42, but am a stressful person and to suffer from anxiety and depression of and on.


I just need someone opinion.  Thanks

Sure sounds like it could be anxiety.  Have you addressed that yet?

My symptoms are different than yours but I think it is all centered around the same thing. My anxiety causes my stomach to knot up, and in turn, disrupts my digestive system. Like you, for the past two weeks I've done tests and talked with doctors and just believed they were wrong. But now I feel like my anxiety is the center and sole cause of why I'm feeling like this. When I'm anxious I focus on the pain which only makes it worse. My outlook right now is focusing on those negative thoughts and trying to eliminate them. Hope you find relief soon!

Its been 3 months, my back muscles along my spine from my lower back up to my neck just getting more sore.  Tight and stiff.  stretching just does not seen to get rid of it.  

Could this be caused by anxiety or could it be something else.  Really starting to effect my day.

You clearly suffer with a lot of health related anxiety.  After reviewing your post history, that is very clear. At some point, you have to put your time and energy into addressing the anxiety instead of continuing to chase your tail with doctors and tests.  You've had testing done that was normal....and you KNOW you have anxiety about your health, so those put together, YES, you should believe your doctor.

Work on the anxiety with a mental health professional.  Otherwise you will just stay stuck in that cycle.

Good luck.
