Hi Everyone ,

Last time I went to my consultant,I told him I had constant tinnitus in my ear ,he sent me for a hearing test which was to show I have hearing loss in both ears ,but he was concerned more about the tinnitus as it is constant , he sent me for a MRI to rule out anything nasty around my hearing nerve. Still awaiting results .but since this I've been having really bad unexplained anxiety ,which is causing muscular aches especially in the pelvic floor. I have heard about PTSD could be a cause due to having to go under the MRI again. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I get my results on the 17th June.

Thanks

Hi Spider

i have constant tinnitus in both ears. RT caused. It’s not uncommon.
I bet your pain is psychosomatic, but real nevertheless

Like Dani I have tinnitus form my RT (not the chemo). Like you I had a scan (CT in my case, but an MRI is better) and there was nothing found of concern. Generally this won't be cancer but may be an enlarged blood vessel that is causing the "sounds". PTSD hits us in many differing forms, just like our treatment does effect everyone in the same way. Hopefully all will be clear on the 17th and you can relax a little.
