For almost a week I've had abdominal and lower back pain, it's not always constant and it's rarely anywhere close to severe but it's there often. Feels almost like a muscular ache. Not really sure what has caused it but I'm wondering if it could, at least in part, be due to grief?
We recently had to have our dog PTS which has been absolutely gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. Whilst I feel like I'm slowly coming out of the worst of it, it hit me way harder than I would have imagined. She was out absolute world. Could the abdominal/back pain be linked to grief? I know that grief can cause several physical issues.
I will make a doctor's appointment next week if it isn't getting any better with rest and painkillers.
