Pain thats bad enough anywhere in your body can make your stomach hurt. Some people who get migrane headaches throw up because the pain in their head makes the stomach sick. i would ask your doc , but
I dont think its that unusual.

That's the exact same symptoms I get. Yeah don't google symptoms as I was doing. Internet gives you everything and nothing and ALWAYS about cancer. Hope you feel better soon

Smallgoose- yeah, I already made that mistake!! I went to the doc yet again today and she said its just chronic back pain and I have to go to PT! This is just ridiculous :) I feel like I'm falling apart. I went to the ER Sunday because the stomach pain was horrible. They did a CT SCAN and said a cyst had ruptured. This is new info to me because I didn't even know I had cysts.
It seems every time I go to the ER I find out something else is wrong with me. Last time it was an enlarged spleen. I'm about done with doctors :(

I know exactly what you mean. I even had the ruptured cyst and see a chiropractor once a month for my chronic back pain. Cysts are quite common so you will be fine. A good way to convince yourself is to Stop googling!!! It took me several weeks to break the habit but it has really helped my anxiety to not dwell on every little change in my body. Once I realized how much money I had wasted on doctors for minor or even nonexistent problems I decided I had too many other things to stress about...it also occurred to me one day that if it really is cancer I should be living my life not worrying about its end. That helped too. I hope you are able to find some peace as well :) good luck!

I had a friend who had a cyst rupture and she had no idea she even had one. It was extremely painful. Its also a perfect explanation for your stomach pain. I get back pain on and off and it can be caused by many things, most of which are not serious. Don't worry about cancer!
