are you sure it is in your head only ????i get the pain too and was told it was mental and i feel it more when stressed it isnt all mental-SOMETIMES DOCTORS JUST BLOW US OFF IT MAYBE CHRONS -IBS- ADHESIONS FIBRO BEGINNING ENDO- ADHESIONS ULCERS ?

I get stomach pains when I'm stressed or about to freak out. Friend of mine gave me some pills that they had for anxiety and I take them when I start to shake and have stomach pains. They have helped a lot so when I finally get to see a doctor I'm going to let them know. Nerves are just taking over the body and stomach takes the beating.

I feel the same way when I am really anxious or upset about something. There is also a muscle in the lower left side of my back that tightens up and is very painful as well. I am not sure how to treat these things individually. What has started to work for me getting treated for the depression itself. My back still hurts at times, but the stomach pain has gone away for the most part. My doctor put me on Effexor Xr, which helps for anxiety and depression. Have you thought about giving any of that a try? Other than that, get how you feel out of you the best you can, talk to people, write down your feelings... anything to try to rid it from your body. It is a long process to feel better sometimes, but we all need to try to so life can be enjoyable again. You can talk to me whenever you need, I'll listen.

ive been suffering with the same problem for 18 months sometimes its in my head so i use mind talk and tell my self its ok your fine relax or i distract myself from it simple things like reading a book going for a walk playing a frustrating game it helps me forget if not usually a hot bath relaxes the tummy muscles i hope it helps you good luck and best wishes let me know if you want to chat xx

Mine always hurts due to constant worry and guilt. Nothing that I double over from tho.
