Dear Italianstallion91~
Welcome here, having had a major spinal problem like a slipped disc realy is a worrying thing, however if you had examinations at the time and during your recovery then hopefully all was mended.
Something like that leading on to being anxious about a recurrence, or incontinence or a range of other possible problems is unfortunate, but not that uncommon. I'm very glad you had the sense to get treatment, your psych sounds ok.
Now that you have had another accident, even a minor one, is a worry and in your position I think I'd seem my GP and have my spine re-examined. This would do a couple of things, if there was a reoccurrence then it would be treated straight away, but morel likely it will be found there was no further damage and you will probably be able to accept it is anxiety giving you the pins and needles.
I say probably because it has taken me a while to accept that negative tests are in fact correct. I have a number of anxiety related physical problems and to start with I was sure that the test results were wrong.
When I find my mind starts to go down the familiar track of excessive worry I do try and distract myself. A walk, reading or a movie, using the free smartphone app Smiling Mind, talking with my partner.
The thread Forums / Anxiety / SELF HELP TIPS FOR MANAGING ANXIETY is good
Are there things you can do too?
