I have a issue ever since my close friend died at the age 18 because of leukemia. i worry for every little pain or soreness i get, is this trauma?

Thus is always: A challenging situation, especially with a close and young friend. You have to remember that your dear friend had a very rare, and often lethal condition. Your fears are also part of your grief process. It will get better with time, but you have to get in the moment and not focus on the past or what might be. Don't obsess about your own health.
