It's going on 2 weeks now that I have lower stomach and back pain. I saw my Dr twice and a ER trip, my urine, blood and cat scan didn't show anything abnormal so I'm wondering what's wrong and it's raising my anxiety. I have felt better than a week ago, but I'm not sure if it's cause I'm getting use to it or I'm getting over it.sometimes I feel good for hours and then it comes back. Any ideas let me know.

Hi SB

Sorry to hear you not feeling well at the moment.

Good news that your test results showed nothing abnormal as if there was something it would of picked it up. It could be anxiety causing your symptoms so do all you can to reduce your anxiety and see if that improves your other symptoms.

If things don't improve this week then maybe go back and speak with your GP.

Keep us posted.

Hi SB,

I am sorry you are still struggling with the stomach issues. Did your doctor discuss the possibility of IBS?

I have transient IBS/lower abdominal issues that last for days/weeks and then resolve...

During flares, I try to watch out for trigger foods (keeping a food diary will help you identify them) and really focus on my coping skills to keep my anxiety as low as possible.

Sending encouragement and healing thoughts,

S.C.

Hi SC,

I haven't seen my GP since last week when he gave me antibiotics even though I didn't have infection. I will give it a few days then go back if I'm still the same, I think I made a slight improvement from last week, but not enough to where I want to be.

Did the stomach distress start before or after the abx? Are the UTI symptoms clearing at least?

Have you started a pro-biotic yet?

Back pain can for sure be a symptom of a UTI. I wonder if it's just residual symptoms from all that?

It was before abx and I don't really feel those uti type symptoms anymore even though my urine said I didn't have one to begin with. I did start to eat some yogurt that has probiotics, but idk what's up with this pain, it's hard to describe and idk if it's coming from lower back or stomach.

What's weird was that when I first started having these stomach issues, I noticed that I have two spots on my spinal cord that hurt when I bend or do sudden movements. It isn't really bad pain but I can feel it and I noticed it when the other symptoms started idk if it's just coincidence.
