So i am someone who gets panicked due to the fear of what bad news the imaging or any medical tests will bring. Not afraid of the tests though. I have been having this pain near my tailbone which is lingering since a year now. I have had an xray which said nothing abnormal, yet i am afraid of MRI. Cause I read about Sacral Chordoma and its prognosis. I know an MRI can easily answer all my queries and rule that out and easy my mind but the fear that it will find chordoma has consumed me already. I want to ask few questions: 1. If it was to be sacral chordoma, I should have gotten more and more symptoms apart from pain right? 2. If the xray doesn't show lytic lesions and me being 27, reduces the chances of having Chordoma significantly? Please guide me and enlighten me about this as this is consuming me and i want to be normal again :(. I so badly want it to be pilonidal sinus but i dont have any swellings. I am so overthinking. Please guide me!
The image i am attaching is the cyst or something like that just in between the tongue's back part and the epiglottis. I had posted a free query in the ENT section one doctor mentioned vallecular cyst. The closest similar pictures i could come across was epiglottic cyst on google. They look pretty similar to this. So i had observed this thing since last year or many months you csn say. Hx: I have history of allergies, recurrent throat infections and also tonsillitis since childhood. Recently had a bad chest infection, sfter a throat infection. After that the cough has reduced a lot but sometimes i get tickling issue in my lower throat, not sure if its cuz of this. And i dont smoke or eat tobacco. I rarely drink thst too in moderation. Never had choking symptoms or any apnea. Please guide me doctors, i am extremely scared. I am 27M, fairly active. Only symptom is occasional throat tickling or irritation mostly after eating food. But i would not call it as sore throat. Please gu

Hello doctors, I am 27 years old. I am 5".4' and I weigh 73 kg. I don't understand how much my weight should be according to my age, gender and height. What kind of nutrition I should take and additionally how much exercise I should be doing! I am extremely afraid that once I start exercising and I lose weight, that might mean I have cancer. I am diagnosed with Lichen Planus in my legs (pics attached are Lichen Planus spots). I don't know if this is in my head or is this something that should not be the way to think or live! I keep on googling about Cancer, various forms of it and think to get myself tested about the same. I am extremely confused about the whole thing. I need help, can someone please make me understand how weight loss is related to cancer and how much weight loss is actually unhealthy?! Additionally, should I start doing some exercises or what exactly should I do now?! P.S - Whoever responds, thank you so much for understanding my position.
