Hello,
I’m posting to see whether anyone has had ongoing back muscular tensions that they can relate to stress/tiredness/anxiety? I’ve had some recurring mid-back ache for almost six months now and I’m trying very, very hard to keep a lid on my health anxiety. Lately this tension/ache seems to be creeping up my neck as well as round my right side/ribs.
I’m desperately trying to tell myself that the fact that we had our second child six months ago and all the excess lifting, bending carrying could have had set off these aches and pains I’m having. They’re not severe, they just feel sort of surface and muscular – plus, I’m completely knackered lately too. Writing all of this out I can see how the logical people out there will say I’m fretting over nothing, but I can’t get it out of my head that there’s something else going on.
Someone said it’s probably gallstones which can cause pancreatitis.
That comment = health anxiety going through the roof.
Making a Dr’s appointment after Christmas day.
Any thoughts of perspective would be welcome.
