How is stomach and other internal problems associated with back pain?

Your intestines don't have nervous suppy for pain.  So, you can't feel your organs, but you can feel the inside of the tissues of your back, hence the pain is felt in the back.  It is usually a really deep low back ache.  Best wishes

The back is a very complex part of the body and many things can be causing your problems.  Some things to look out for are your posture, the way you sit in a chair (slouching) and even your mattress.  Best to seek proper advice.

If it were something bad, the pain would be persistent and getting worse.  \n\nIt could be gas or constipation.

The stomach problems may be the CAUSE of your arthritis.  There is a growing body of medical research that indicates that arthritis can be a 'byproduct' of 'gut problems'.  Many types of gut problems lead to a condition called 'Intestinal Hyperpermeability' (Leaky Gut Syndrome) that allows bacteria, toxins and other nasty stuff to be absorbed into the blood stream.  These 'nasties' can deposit in the joints where they induce immune system and inflammatory responses that get labeled 'arthritis'.\n\nI would like to suggest two wonderful books that can help you with your pain.  They are written by Sherry Rogers, M.D. and are called: 1) "Pain Free in 6 Weeks" and 2) "No More Heartburn" (which explains in detail the many causes of all kinds of gut and digestive problems, the problems they create with your overall health, and how to treat the causes rather than masking symptoms with drugs that can actually make the problems worse.\n\nThe books are available at Amazon.com or from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.  I highly recommend them if you have the ability and interest in learning about your health and how to manage it by finding and treating the cause.  I suspect from your question that you have these characteristics.  Best wishes and good luck.

It can affect the body the same way stress does: headaches, stomach problems, heart problems, etc. because the sufferer is under a lot of anxiety and stress with the rituals and such.  I know because I suffer from OCD, and I have a lot of stomach and digestive problems because of it.

Stomachaches usually come with nausea, cramps (I'm assuming menstrual cramps) occur in the lower abdominal area and more intensely. Stomachaches are caused mostly by an unhappy tummy, cramps are caused by overexertion. If you have been eating questionable things like junk foods or improperly cooked foods or no foods at all and you begin to experience pain and nausea, you have a stomachache. If you have been exercising or you are going through your period, you have cramps. Prevent cramps by stretching before exercise and consuming foods high in potassium and low in sodium, like bananas.

There are several things it could be. Appendicitis is one of them. One quick test for that is to have someone press their hand (keeping it fairly flat) over the lower portion of your abdomen and press firmly. Does that increase your pain? Then have them release the pressure suddenly. Does that increase your pain? If the later causes your pain to increase, then, most likely, it is your appendix. That means you need to get into a doctor like NOW!!! you know STAT!!! If your appendix ruptures, the pain goes away and the problem has just increased 100% because you now have to deal with internal infection.\n\nHave you had any nausea/vomiting/constipation/diarrhea in the past 2-3 days days? any fever? How much fluid have you been consuming? Have you been peeing? \n\nThose are all questions that need to be answered. You could be looking at problems with your ovaries, bladder infection, kidney infections, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), the flu, intestinal flu, and so on. My recommendation is to talk with your health-care provider and follow their recommendation.

I agree with the other people who have answered.  Depending on your age there are many problems that could cause lower back pain and the health care system will rule out the most common ones.  Most likely you have one of the common causes of lower back pain.\n\nIf you are an older male (in your fifties, sixties, or older) prostate cancer can cause lower back pain if it has spread to the bones.  However, you would most like have other symptoms.  Also, as you age degenerative disk disease can cause lower back pain.\n\nDon't jump to the conclusion that you must have cancer.  However, don't ignore persistent pain that lingers for days and isn't helped with the usual over the counter pain medication.  \n\nTo more specifically answer your question about how a diagnosis of cancer is made ... there would be blood tests, biopsies, bone scans, MRIs, CT scan, ultrasound, etc.  It usually would require a number of tests.  But unless you have reason to believe you have prostate cancer or bone cancer (when you would most likely have generalised bone pain in a number of areas of your body),most likely your problem is related to a far less serious cause.

It can be a nervous cause. I suffered from chronic stomach pains for many years (since I was 8-9) and no doctor could diagnose anything for sure. It was untill I went to psico-therapy that the pains sarted to reduce, We tend to internalize many of our external problems into our body and many times its the body which starts asking for help in the way of pain and illness. And yes, 9 year olds can have problems too. Is everything ok in the family, at his school?

If it was cancer, you would definitely know it by now. You probably have a less serious condition. Gall bladder disease is painful in the upper right part of your back. (I know... the gall bladder isn't even located there. But that's where most people feel the pain.) When you say it's your stomach, what exactly do you mean? Behind your breastbone? That's where your stomach is. Lower in your belly? That's where your intestines are, along with your liver and other organs. I'm surprised that nobody has given you a diagnosis -- even to tell you it's acid reflux or ulcers or an irritated colon. Do you get relief from taking anything such as antacids? Do certain foods make it worse? Does it happen only after you eat, or is the pain evident all day?? Are you constipated all the time? Do you have gas with it? Write down all the details... whenever you get the pain, write down the time, what you ate, what makes it go away, what the intensity is (on a scale of 1-10), etc. The more details you can provide your doctor, the better. Also, ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist. That's a doctor specializing in digestive tract problems. You also might consider that it's nerves. But see a specialist first.

In that area of your body you have your upper intestines, gallbladder, and your liver.  You can also have pain from your kidney.  If you're still hurting after several days and the pain is getting worse you should see your health care provider.  You may have some sort of infection or damage to an organ in that area.  Or it could simply be muscle pain from a strained muscle in that area.  Your doctor or nurse practitioner could best test and determine what's going on.  I would see them though to rule out any sort of infection of one of your major organs.  It's kind of high to be appendicitis but that's possible if it's referred pain.  If you've had fever and nausea/vomiting with it you need to seek help immediately to be evaluated for appendicitis.

If it is accompanied by discomfort, bloating, having to go to the bathroom then it could be a problem.  Keep track of how your stomach feels and how you respond to certain foods.  \n  If you have a condition such as irritable bowel syndrome, you will have to learn what foods cause the irritation or stomach upset and avoid them.  \n   If you feel nervous in the restaurant, and only when you eat in restaurants (and only get the stomach problems there) then it could be an anxiety problem.  \n This is a difficult one to call, so I would keep careful track of the symptoms and then go to the doctor and discuss it with him/her.

Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting blood or a coffeeground like substance (which is also blood), frequent heartburn, anemia and a general feeling of malaise. If this describes you, then please go get checked out immediately. Go to an ER if needed. Just get evaluated and treated before you experience other health issues of a much graver nature.

Seems you're right in diagnosis: stomach ache. The pain in the back where you defined is most likely from your stomach as well. Gastritis is a very common problem in digestive system and the more you take it easy, the shorter the course of pain. After having food, do not lay down until an hour or so is passeed. Avoid acidic and spicy food and also alcohol. Milk, water and simple foods are good for you. Do not get upset! Take AlMg medication after food, and TAKE IT EASY!!

Peristaltic contractions, which are the normal intestinal muscle contractions you body uses to move food from the mouth to the anus.  Having a stomach ache could mean you have inflamed your stomach for some reason (bacteria, virus, intolerance), in which case your body is abnormally attuned to this spot.  If there was any swelling, the contractions might be visible, since the musclelies on top of and around the intestines and stomach.  I would recommend warm liquids (chicken broth or decaffeinated tea would be good) to soothe the stomach and decrease swelling.
