Upset stomach = pulled back muscle?

I am pretty sure I have IBS (Irritable bowel syndrom) I deal with an upset stomach on & off. Stomach cramps & stuff like that.

A few days ago during one of my upset stomach episodes I noticed my back started to hurt. Like a pulled muscle.

This has happened to me before because I also have IC (a painful bladder disorder) & sometimes during a bad flare up I get backaches from running to the bathroom so much.

Anyway, this time though the back ache has lasted longer it usually goes away after a day or two.

Last night my stomach got upset again (wondering if it is a stomach bug because I'm eating really bland food) well my back kind of went in spasms for about 30 seconds. Hurt really bad then stopped.

I've been putting heat on it for awhile then cold. I feel best laying flat on my back. I would take Advil but well that would just upset my stomach.

I'm sure it isn't kidney pain because the pain moves around at times and can be all across my lower back.

So did I pull a muscle?

For those who will suggest seeing a doctor I will. I have an appointment with my urologist Wednesday so I'll talk to him about it.

Mainly I want to know if other with TUMMY troubles have had back pain too.

If you have been gaining weight recently, your body is trying to readjust itself for the extra weight. If you haven't been gaining weight, then I bet you twisted the wrong way and that is the back problem. Just a strained muscle or pinched nerve. I get those sometimes. As for all your other issues, have you sought help from a nutritionist. I bet they could get you started on a diet that would help relieve the symptoms or even eliminate the problems.

Bad gas sometimes makes my back hurt as well as my stomach.
