Hi All,
I'm just wondering if this is a common symptom of anxiety. On and off I've been getting pain in my left abdomen, just to the left of my naval. I used to feel it in the same region in my back and originally thought the pain in the front was referred pain from my back. However, my back seems a bit better now and the pain is mostly in my front. I suppose pain might not be the best word, it's more an achy uncomfortable-ness. My digestive system seems fine so I don't think its IBS or anything similar. I wondered if maybe it is coming from me holding myself so tense all the time, if I could be carrying the stress in my abdomen muscles?? As I said I've had it on and off for a few months, just don't know if I should be going to the doc or if I should put it in the anxiety symptom sack with everything else.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!
