When it all hurts....

i am in pain through my stomach, back, underneath my belly button and everything stings. now what do i do? would you see a doctor? my stress levels have been spiked terribly today.

Yes, have a word with your doctor Sam. He or she may do a few tests. But if the doc can’t find any biological reason for the symptoms they’ll put it down as “psychosomatic pain” or “Idiopathic”. this is very common with people.

Your doctor may offer you something like “Amitriptyline” which is a common anti-depressant used for some types of unexplained pain. Look at it as a short term remedy to shake your system up a bit. Many years ago I had a terrible episode of Psychosomatic pain and asked the doctor for Amitriptyline which pulled me round.

thank you i will try to speak to my doctors…

Are you on any IBS medication? If not ask for alverine. Also try kefir yoghurt drink the plain one. Try to avoid sugar, caffeine and alcohol.

i have ibs, coeliac dissase and allergies. my

You need to make an appointment asap with your doctor or ring 111 if you have coeliac disease. Is there a possibility you could have had some gluten since you had your symptoms? Think about everything you have eaten, drunk or even taken as a tablet.

hi moon, i think stress has done this as this only started when i get really stressed this week. i am a lot better than i was.
