Hi

I have been getting stabbing pains on my back. Just under my ribcage on each side of my spine has been coming and going for the last few days and getting a bit anxious about it.

It could be stress/anxiety related as I am going through a rough time at the moment. Has any one else had similar issues???

Hibee,

I have read of many others having this same type of pain with their anxiety.  You are under a lot of stress so your body may be compensating by having physical pain.  If you don't feel it is related to the Anxiety please do get it checked out by your Dr.

How is everything going.  Any progress with your work issues ?

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt

Hi Kitt

I think it could be the anxiety causing it but if it does not improve I will get it checked by my Dr. My union rep managed to push back the next meeting to end of April which gives me more time to prepare my case which is good. Really looks unlikely that I will go back but going to take it to a tribunal. When its all over thinking of heading over to see my mate in Australia for a while and sort my head out.

Hi Hibee. I get the same thing and all they can figure out is its probably my fibromyalgia. If Im moving around a lot it will pound and nearly knock me down. Maybe u get muscle spasms? Its really painful and for me my tension/anxiety wreaks havoc in my back/muscles. Hope it gets better.

Hi Blueangel

Thanks for the reply. What is fibromyalgia? What i'm finding is that I get sudden stabbing pain when I am moving around I am having a lot of anxiety at the moment which I feel is the cause but not sure.
