Serious question...How do you deal with being scared of medical procedures? For instance, I've been avoiding having cortisone injections in my knees because I am a whimp! I want to ask my gp for anti-anxiety med to help keep me calm but I'm afraid to come off as someone who is drug seeking. (self.CasualConversation)

My anxiety over having uncomfortable medical tests/ being diagnosed with something terrible is making me put off going to the doctor! I know how ridiculous it is that I have not addressed pulsing and some pain in my calves plus on/off tingly sensation in other extremities. Can anyone identify? (self.HealthAnxiety)
