I found this online (adrenal fatigue is causing your back pain)... So the adrenaline glands are connected to muscles and nerves.. If they are over stressed they cause pain.. So basically our glands are so over used that they are fatigued... Causing the pain...

Only problem with this diagnosis is that I suffer from none of the other symptoms of adrenal fatigue. It does sound like there is a relationship with our symptoms and the description of the lower back pain experienced by adrenal fatigue. Especially when the adrenal gland may be getting overloaded. But I don't think I have adrenal fatigue.
25, Have recently had exactly the same symptoms
lots of people are describing this so I believe it is some kind of syndrome relating to adrenal glands (maybe adrenal fatigue) but few medical personnel seem to understand or accept how disabling it is. At least I know I am not alone.
These pains started when I had an epidural with my first child. It's been 20 years now and none of the doctors I've talk to about it have take me seriously
It's your aorta. Large artery that runs the length of your spine and splits to make femoral artery in legs. If you have a weak wall within the artery, here comes a AAA. An abdominal aortic aneurysm. Just my guess, I'm a nurse, not a doctor. Too bad docs aren't weighing in. Helps not to get angry, although I've experienced it from just having hypertention.
Hi rayjay...I have the exact same issue as everyone here. I'm convinced it is adrenaline. I have more thoughts and worries that surround speaking more than anything else. I tend to not speak or take any kind of action and whatever is going on just swirls around in my body and has no outlet. I have had this issue more this past year than any other time. And the worse incidents within a week of ending up in the hospital because an anxiety attack that usually goes away in an hour left my heart racing at 190 for 5 straight hours. Needless to say, this did some heart damage. All x-rays EKGs and echos showed that I was ok.. But Troponin in my blood was elevated. And I learned because of being monitored for two days that my resting heart rate is over 100. So considering there wasn't much to go on as far as diagnosis goes, other than tachycardia, I was released with a prescription of atenolol. Did my homework on it and it's a beta blocker and it's main function is to block adrenaline which makes my heart go too fast. I have not had anymore of the back issues since being on it. What made me want to answer you in particular is yours flares up around verbal issues. So I noticed that one of the other beta blockers called propranolol, addresses public speaking in particular. It's a little different tho as it crosses the blood brain barrier, whatever that means. Sounds kinda scary so I'm sticking with the atenolol.
I thought I was the only one ! They call me crazy, but upon adrenaline surge my back throbs across the middle. I also break out sweating. I can't get help , or at the very least validation of any kind. This is not normal for me anyways.
Yes I have. I have had this happen in stressful situations and during an orgasm. Don't know what it is though.
Same here. Same symptoms.
Ihave the exact same sensation, always follows a stressful situation with about a 30 sec delay, my mother gets it too, the pain is crippling for about 6 pulses then quickly subsides.
In my earlier years, a fright would give me a metallic taste in my mouth, but no pain.
It must be related to a genetic makeup, because I'm know as the incredible Hulk by my mates, because I go from relaxed to incredible aggression and strength in a split second.
Once they through a firework into a garage we were standing in and tried to stop me leaving.
I pushed 5 big lads through the metal garage door and took it off the hinges, it always takes at least four people to hold me down if I get annoyed play fighting.
Always followed by this extreme pain and while under the adrenaline hit I am totally oblivious to pain or consequence.
I t makes me very wary of situations because i always jump in to help someone being bullied/attacked with no regard for my safety.
It has to be something that annoys me, being attacked or ridiculed myself or someone else, I am totally non aggressive in normal situations.

CR63 here (instead of CR62, since I'm now 63). Folks have said a couple of times how frustrating it is that no definitive explanation has yet emerged or been received from an authoritative medical source. Gotta say, however, that, with our combined efforts, we seem to have this pretty much figured out: It's an adrenal problem that is stressing our arteries. I also find interesting that atenolol, a beta blocker that inhibits adrenal production, appears to alleviate the symptoms. So it would appear we have both a tentative diagnosis and a tentative prescriptive approach. Not bad for a bunch of folks who have been unable to get the medical profession to look at and deal with this seriously.
A while back, there was a medical student who posted in this thread, saying he was going to pursue this vigorously and try to create some sort of serious medical analysis and approach to this, but we never heard back from him.

I have had this happening to me for years. I was always taught to stand my ground and only fight in retaliation. Im a fairly big lad but when i have faced verbal abuse that ends without a fight, after a few minutes i literally cant move. The pain is incredibly intense. Lasts a few minutes then its like nothing happened.
In fairness im just happy to know that its not just me as was starting to believe what everyone keeps telling me, that its all in my head.
If anyone knows a fix i can get hold of that doesnt involve my doctor who thinks im making it up please speak up.

I too get this same horrible pain when I'm frightened or panicked. As a nurse, I'm thinking it's a rush of adrenaline to help you with the "flight or fight". Since there is no test for this, I just try to go with it. Like deeply breathing. Focus on relaxing.
I've had the same problem for over a year now. A prolonged stressful life event has weakened my body. Loud music can cause the back pain. Sometimes I fall when it hits me. I do have autoimmune diseases and major chemical sensitivities. In elementary school I would vomit and sometimes pass out after eating peanut butter. My panic attacks disappeared when I began to read scripture and the words would calm my mind and change my thoughts. Prayer, exercise, stretching and listening to mediation cd's really makes a difference. I'm starting over again with this lifestyle change. I cannot drink any caffeinated beverages.
