Hi There,
First off..you will be OK..remember that... just relax and breath :)...Perhaps you have PMS.. when I get PMS well mine is more Pre Menopausal now lol but still same things happen... sore lower back... always as anxious people, we can make the pain worse...by dwelling on it... I suspect every woman has had a lower backaches... things happen after we have had our bodies altered by childbirth..The trick is to not let it consume you... Smile.. Life is good.. and so many people have it so much worse than we do.:) I know that may be little comfort to you..but I have suffered from acute anxiety attacks for many many years.... and it sure would have been nice to have something,like this forum back then... I had to learn to deal with it. by myself...I still take lorazepam for it... The one thing i can honestly say is.. I let Anxiety ruin my 20's and 30's.... I sure don't mean to go on and on like this... I hope your back feels better soon :) God Bless and Peace

Jane59 Thank you so much! I try to tell myself over and over again that its nothing. If it was something of major concern then it would NOT go away when my husband massages it or when I am not sitting at work! ((hug)) you have made me feel better.

Perhaps see a chiro if it persists. You could be out of alignment too. Worrying about pain or ache only makes the symptoms worse. Just be ok with it being there and relax into it. Blessings.

Yeah I can say the same. Anxiety took over my life the last 10 years it only creates more health problems. Try not to "judge" the feeling in your back or wherever it is. Allow it and it's when we judge it as good or bad that we get stuck in it.

Hey there,

I know everybody's situation is different, but before I started taking medication for my anxiety I use to think the worst of any little thing wrong with me. I think my history of hypochondria had to do a little with the fact that my mother took myself and my siblings to the doctors for EVERYTHING. She lost a child when he was only three from pneumonia, so after this she was not willing to take her chances on any of her other children becoming too sick.

Are you taking anything for your anxiety? I'd rather not take medication if I didn't have to, but it does help me think straight and not worry about things. I think it is no brainer I'd rather be happy than sad. So for me the medication has helped. Also this may sound funny but are you top heavy in term of your chest? I say this because one of my best friends is very large up top and she lower back pain from time to time. If you have a larger upper body this could be causing your back pain as well. Do yourself a favor and try to not go online and self diagnose yourself. Take it from a person who has some anxiety as well. I can think the worst of situation as well. :o) Hope this helps. Katie

The pain you are describing could be from your hips being out of alignment, trochanter, and should be checked out by the doctor. Show the doctor where the pain starts.
At work, do you sit in one position or stand in one position for any length of time? Is the pain worse by the end of the day, or does it come and go during the day?
Good luck!

I sit alll day. I try to get up often. Whats weird is that on the weekends it does not hurt, unless i move wrong. But its during the week and it comes and goes.

Smile, and be gentle in your motion getting up and down out of the chair or stool. Hope it eases off as you relax through the anxiety. You are in the right place for support!
