Back pain
Does it make sense if I say that I know my back is hurting becasue I'm feeling jittery?
I've had a couple of bouts of back pain recently, but some days it subsides to a low grade pain that I don't really notice that much.
However, I notice when I start getting edgy and jittery. Most times when I get jittery there's an obvious reason, but right now, I'm pretty okay about life. I had a good weekend. I had a great day yesterday (grey wagtails, two kinds of orchids and a friend raising a really cute baby blackbird). So when I start feeling jittery after that, all I need to do is to run a hand up my spine - sure enough, there's the sore spot.
I'd always know that feeling tense/stressed made my back hurt (muscle tension I presume) but I only recently became aware that it linked the other way. My son gave me a back massage the other week and half-way through it, there was a moment when I could literally feel the jitters dropping away from me.
