Cant Stop Worrying!! =(?
I had an infection in my belly button a little over a week ago, it was very painful, went to the er they sent me home, then went to NYU med center next to my job. They did a cat scan and took a sample of the pus. Cat scan came back ok, except they said “i have extra skin growing around my belly button” i asked if that was bad and she said “no”. so i got the results back and it came back as a minor staff infection. I have been having major aniexty the past week that there is really something else very wrong. It has cleared up with the antibiotics, but i really want a second opition. Can i do that if there is no symptoms? How would I? I cant shake this feeling? Is it silly for me to think this if I did recieve a CAT scan and no red flags popped up? Ive never been like ths my whole life, and its driving me nuts. Anyone relate or help? Id really appreciate it
I have been really worried about things going on with me for the last few months so I know how it feels. I would suggest going to your family doctor or a general practitioner to follow up. Tell them what happened at the ER and about your concerns. They will check it out. Also, tell the doctor about your anxiety and they might be able to give you something to help with that.
