I wanna know if i have cancer and if i
should be worried. I have pains all over
my chest and abdomen. front and back and
somethimes in my shoulder region. they
are aches. And when i breathe in deep it
hurts like a stabbing pain. It also feels
as if there is something stuck in my
throat which only bothers me at night. It
is a big massive load of different places
that hurt. Includes: Both of my sides,
heart area, and my lung area. I am only
17 years old. Please tell me what tests i
should ask for when i go to the doctor on
saturday or sunday. I play basketball and
i almost choked on a mozzerella stick last
week. if that has anything to do with
it. but from what i have said here do you
think i have cancer? What else could be
affecting my whole upper body at once?
maybe something muscular? i dunno. Any
help is appreciated.

Sounds like growing pains to me. At 17, it
is quite common to get the feeling
something is wrong with you and become
anxious over it. It doesn't sound like
cancer - but be sure to tell your doctor
all about it.

Growing pains give me sharp jabbing pains
all over my body that almost bring me to
tears sometimes?

They could. It is as good an explaination
as undiagnosed cancer.
Have you heard of Achem's razor? Achems
razor states that: all things being equal,
the most simple explanation is probably
the correct explanation.
There isn't any need to rush to think of
the worst possible thing it is first.
Always consider the other alternatives.
