| This has been worrying me for a long time , ever since i was 15 im 17 now. ive had this constant thought that i had a brain tumor every day and every time i wasnt occupied with somthing it was on my mind with pain in my head. i even wake up and have pain in my neck and lower head area.
i finally decided to go to the DR. after years of worry i started to think my head was getting bumpy although my dr. said it feels normal. i constantly clinch my jaws and crack my neck from side 2 side it only cracks on one side pretty much also i feel as if i can move or click somtihng in the back of my head the doctor sees no trouble. he has checked my eyes and felt my head few times. i have also been feeling back pain and have been cracking/twisting my back alot its got me worried that it is a tumor in the back, i guess what makes me believe i have this is that i matched the symptoms and i had a uti infection not long ago , ive got it treated and had a x-ray so i think its cured now. my doctor says i have sinuses ( one side of my nose is always block and it switches) back when i was around 12-13 i went through sumthing similar but different cases hope someone can help me out , i know this is more of a anxiety and stress issue, but i just hope someone can help me out here mike |

You don't need to worry about brain cancer at all. If you had it you'll probably experience other serious symptoms long ago. Your headache and the feeling you have that your head is getting bumpy are coming from your inflammited sinuses. Treat them and you'll feel much better. I agree with you that this is more of a anxiety and stress. So it's better for you not to think about your health condition(you're young and healthy
)think about what will make you less stressful and practice it. Try to have relaxing time before going to bed, think about your posture in your bed( maybe your back pain is coming from not sleeping well) and focus on resolving clinching and cracking issue.
