FYI in this Forum we are mostly breast cancer members who voluntarily do our best to advise and help anyone who asks a question about their problems..We cannot provide or venture to give information about something we don't know for sure.
You could ask the same question you have asked us, to any doctor....but unless he examines you and orders some sort of tests ,he wouldn't know either...
The pain you are describing could be many,many things...and the only way "Not to freak out"would be to seek a doctor who can examine you and put your mind at ease..
No, I wouldn't say it is pointless, nor would the 1000's of individuals who have recieved valued help here...
As nonprofessional volunteers, we can provide information about various BC-related conditions and procedures, and emotional support for those going through them, but when it comes to an individual's specific medical situation, nothing repaces a hands- on examination by a physician, and whatever imaging or other testing s/he may deem necessary.
If you want a doctor's opinion, you could post in the BC Expert Forum, but I suspect in the end you would get the same advice there--not because anyone would be trying to put you off, but because it is the appropriate advice.
I think deep down you knew that even before you posted, which was the point of my humorous reply.
Best wishes...
Well this site is called medhelp if I am not mistaken, and considering the topic of the forum....I would also assume this whole site and forum has a point other than telling everyone nothing than "go to the doctor"...otherwise this site is rather pointless wouldn't you say?
Hi,
I don't have an answer for you, just a question:
If you ASSUME that "99% of us will say go to a doctor, blah, blah," does that suggest ANYTHING to you? ;->
Best wishes...
