Was just reading your post as have a similar problem. Mine all started when I had gallbladder problems, back ache started and eventually had it removed, however have had odd back pains since. Have told the doctors (or anyone who will listen) about it but everyone just dismisses it as muscular. I have now noticed that the pain gets worse when I am feeling stressed which then starts my anxiety off. I convince myself it must me connected to my liver or pancreas due to the previous gallbladder problem and had an ultrasound scan last October. All okay apart from a couple of liver cysts that I only found out about accidentally. This too played on my mine, as everything does. Anyway my back is again playing up, same pain but now radiating to shoulder and spine etc. I too consulted someone, first an osteopath then someone who did massage and specialised in trigger points (another thing I found on the internet!!). She also told me it was muscular and stress, bad posture and even that it was caused by me being a "reverse breather", so I don't even breath properly (looked this up as well). Anyway, it is still causing me pain and I am totally stressed and can think of nothing else. This has now had a knock on effect and is giving me indigestion, another thing that happens in times of my anxiety. Have been to the doctor twice, he has agreed for me to have another scan - put my mind at rest he said! However, my mind is far from at rest and I think everyone is getting fed up with me being miserable, which is again not helping. I go aound and around in circles, but still believe everything is connected to my initial gall bladder problems.

I wondered how you were getting on now and if you are still in pain or have you found a solution?
