Back pain

[MissSunshine]

I have been under alot of stress the pass few days what with christmas coming up and rushing and worrying about getting things sorted in time.

My belly has been going crazing, sore to touch, cramps, more stools then normal, think the stress has flared up my IBS again? Im on mebverine for it from march this year.

Im also on acid reflux tablets, but I still feel nausea and feel acid in my tummy, is this because of the stress?

and last night in bed was the worse, I had the most horrible pain in my back (right shoulder blade) it went when I put my hot water bottle there for a while..

Can all this be stress? i woke up today so stiff and tense, also can it be gas due to stress?

merry christmas everyone xx

Hi there, I've been going through the exact same as you! Right down to shoulder pain. I'm pretty certain it's a result of being so tense all the time, and my stomach has been quite upset, I'm so bloated I look about 4 months pregnant!! with my IBS I can get a sore lower back, and go to the toilet up to 8 times a day! It's always worse in the morning though. Sometimes I'm tense and I don't even know it, and when I think "relax", my body starts to relax and it's only then I realize how tense my neck, shoulders etc really were. Try to relax and it'll make a difference. Although easier said than done.
