I just want to vent. I have health anxiety and last year I struggled with lower back pain for about four months (almost like a cramping, some stabbing pain, felt it along the centre of my spine). I had some pelvic scans as it seemed related to fibroids but I never really got any specific answers. After a while (was was given b12 and iron tablets) it died down, but it's come back this month (had it for a week currently).

I'm just terrified it won't go away, or that it's caused by something serious such as a spinal tumour. I don't know how long to wait before I reach out to my doctor. I don't want to seem overly anxious and it's likely they'll not give me any pain relief or send me for tests. I also had covid two weeks ago and I've heard back pain can be a symptom that lasts. It's just hard when I can't sleep because of this pain, it really does make the mind wander.
