Low back pain, so scared it's a tumor

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm 22 years old female, and I'm suffering from low back pain when I move only or bend down or suddenly stand but also it feels tender when I touch it and like in the exact point feels it like suishy, bumps moveable, elastic or like ligaments, muscles idk a bit weird, feels like theres a pressure or something. I suffer from scoiliosis since I was ten and started wearing a brace when i was 13 but only worr it for 6 months cause it was uncomfortable and also my parents didn't care. I also have health anxiety and depression and I've been thinking about cancer the last months and now I'm scared it is a soft tissue sarcoma or other cancer, help could this be cancer? Is it a big chance? The part where it hurts feels like theres a squishy bump and hurts a bit, I also have pain in other parts of my body, and terrible headaches pls help

    Why on earth would you think you have cancer when your symptoms could be those of so many other conditions? To me it sounds more likely to be a herniated disc than cancer - but why haven't you been to your doctor to find out? The fact that you have scoliosis may also be causing problems, but you really do need to get a proper medical diagnosis, guess work won't help you at all.
