Dealing with IBS anxiety symptoms

[Codfather]

How do you deal with the lower back ache from IBS. I also have groin pain just had all blood tests done , intollorance tests , fit test and stool samples done again. All negative ! Anxiety started this flare up 5 months ago and I've had a multitude of symptoms .

I have exactly the same problems and it has been attributed to pelvic floor dysfunction ( ie pelvic floor never relaxes)Look up some exercises on the net

It is a long road but you do feel better

Hi. What other symptoms did u have . What caused it ,?

[Plumt in reply to Codfather]

I had a fall and broke three ribs which meant I spent time with a very tight abdomen, which never relaxed causing constipation. In addition I used to sit in the office with my feet on the desk, which put pressure on my lower back and contributed to the back/abdominal tension and subsequent constipation.Other symptoms are lower central abdominal pain, lower left groin and thigh pain.

As though my whole pelvis and lower abdomen is in a constant state of tension.

So did u get groin muscular ache and back ache ??

[Plumt in reply to Codfather]

Yes and central lower abdominal / pelvic pain which have been eased with pelvic floor exercises

Thank you

Been trying those exercises and they had immediate positive impact on my back and groin pain , sad thing is as soon as I'm stressed or anxious the pains return. Thank you for the advice I will use it regular !

If it’s mainly at night, sleep on your side with your legs tucked up (fetal position). I find that stretches out the back as well as compresses the stomach preventing bloating, which I believe causes/aggrevates the back pain.

Hello I have horrid groin pain and sciatica associated with pain left side of my umbilicus . When flare up goes pain in groin and sciatica go too . I get scared it’s something else but been investigated. I find flare ups can last for months sitting at my desk makes pain worse . Exercise helps . Feel for us all on this site

[Codfather in reply to Towe]

That is so much like , only my back is a full ache but the groin is the same and it lasts for months !!

It’s horrid like a stitch pain in my groin and sciatica . Nothing really helps for pain relief . Better at night starts up again as soon as start walking around when I wake up . I really hope you feel better and you can be pain free . I have been cold water swimming for a few years helps with anxiety
