    I was at an emergency appoint mentioned for exactly this today. The doctor thinks it is a chronic flare up of IBS. But yes, the worry and discomfort ramp up the anxiety. Get it checked for peace of mind.

      Please don't google. I know we want answers but trying to self diagnose makes the anxiety worse.

      I've had back,abdominal, leg, hip and so much other pain. I had so many tests and everything comes back good. It HAS to be hormones. I'm 45 years old and this peri stuff is a monster.. Hang in there , try to think positive thoughts, and just know you're going to be fine..
