Looking for advice on a case

I just had a 36 y.o. F present with thoracic back pain with numbness radiating to left arm. Also states she has persistent rectal bleeding. Her PCP is aware of this. I called him and discussed the pt with him. I r/o cardiac issues with 12 lead ECG= normal sinus rhythm. EE is also taking antidepressants, and anti anxiety meds- benzodiazapines ( Clonazapam 0.5mg T.I.D. )

I'm wondering if this is more psychosomatic ? Any opinions you may have are most welcome.

( my impression from speaking to PCP is she just wants to get out of work- I am the Occ Health Nurse for the site ( 1000+ employess on my shift )

I too was an ICU nurse turned OHN for a grand total of 9 months. What I remember most about that particular experience was that I felt like a school nurse. There were legitimate complaints/problems- but alot of them needed to GET A GRIP- JUST SUCK IT UP AND WORK ALREADY!!!!!

Anyway, best of luck.
