Concerned :(

Hi,
I’m a mum to my 8 year old daughter. I’ve just started having leg pain, just above my knee, it’s not there all the time and not bad, just a little niggle and I’m so terrified it’s CC. I’ve no bleeding or other pain anywhere. Has anyone else just had leg pain and been diagnosed? No smear booked as can’t get through to GP.

Hi, is there any particular reason that you think this is cc?

Leg pain can occur for many reasons.

Fear is an emotional response so it can be irrational and not rooted in a reasonable response. Dealing with fear is about recognising that reason will not alleviate it. People can tell you ad naseum not to be afraid but that can’t stop the fear response.

If you can acknowledge why you feel this way it may help counter your fear

Information will help counter that but firstly you need reassurance.
