Pain in back during adrenalin rush situations

Well, that's very frightening! Since you know the cause, perhaps you know if there is any remedy.

Yes, really puts a damper on the mood! I'm thinking an endocrinologist would be the type of specialist who may shed some light, since it is apparently adrenaline related. Have any of the doctors you've mentioned this to been endocrinologists?

Yes, it happens to me during sex, too. It makes me fearful of orgasm. My gyno suggested I go to a therapist for relaxation techniques, but I haven't.

I have had exactly the se problem but learned to live with it.The only problem is I get it at night while I sleep.Is there any help out there?

I'm 31 male, healthy... Have the same issue whenever I feel in mortal danger and have a surge of adrenaline

I also have the same problem, like something is squeezing my spine as to where i can't move. Very painful. I have to face tough situations every day so I need to keep my adrenaline in check. If anyone knows this is or how to stop it please, let me know. Thanks

Mine is localized in my left shoulder right behind the should blade area. It literally makes me double over mad gasp for breath. Feels as though someone is driving a knife into me. My arm goes numb and I thought at first I was having a heart attack but dr ruled that out. I have been told I have bone spurs on my neck but they cannot explain why this ONLY happens when I get angry or my adrenaline kicks up a notch. I cannot even have a good fight with my husband because if I even raise my voice, WHAM!!! I am reeling and gasping for air.

Did you get to the bottom of your possible adrenal issue? Im suffering the same as you, but now I've got palpitations, suddenly going all hot & dizzy every morning.

Please note that I took a look at the adrenal fatigue diagnosis that was given by a member. Absolutely none of the symptoms of adrenal fatigue applied to me. It doesn't even list our symptom as one of the symptoms. I don't know where that diagnosis came from. But it doesn't apply.
I've spoken to several people who are otherwise healthy and just have accepted this as a normal consequence of a high adrenalin rush situation. Which is what I've started doing as well. Your body pumps out a lot of adrenalin when it needs it and it simply overloads the system. I've stopped worrying about it.
It doesn't happen often, but when it does I just accept it.

I have this same issue. Mine has niw advanced to such an extent that i have pain in the front under my lowest ribs too. I have awful headaches which last 2 to 3 days. I've discovered thats its not dehydration per se, but an imbalance of electrolytes. As soon as I feel the headach creeping on, i make a large mug of caffeine free green tea, juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1/2 teasp sugar, pinch of salt. I drink it slowly & relax. I eat a couple of sundried apricots, chewing them slow (high in potassium) at the same time. This is my electrolyte drink & it usually gets rid of the headache. Kidney problems can cause an imbalance of electrolytes, which in turn can manifest in headaches amongst other things.

For some of us, myself included, this pulsation can happen for a few hours at a time and is very debilitating. I get paralysed every time the adrenaline starts pumping so its annoying to say the least. I am now trying to find a consultant who will look into this as I've had this for over 20 years and it is getting worse. With so many people suffering with this it's about time it had a name and was given the same acknowledgement as other illnesses.

I get this also . It happens after any adrenaline rush situation . The pain is near debilitating for a brief period , teeth clenching , lean on something to avoid hitting the floor pain that just takes over . It's easy to think of scenarios that this would be horrible timing to have happen . If I had to defend my home from an intruder or something like that , I think we'd be in serious trouble .

I have the same thing but it's so infrequent. When it does happen I have to breathe through it until it subsides. Have spoken to my GP and he didn't even blink an eye. I am a 65 yr old female.

It's weird how most of the situation mentioned were due to stress while in traffic. I've had two occurrence of the same piercing pain starting on my lower left side on my back then up my spine. When my car was rear ended and we were waiting for the cops to show up, my adrenaline was kicking in and the pain had me frozen for a few seconds. Another, just yesterday at a stressful situation waiting for a security guard directing traffic to let my line move after letting a gazillion cars go on another.

35 YO male, experienced following orgasms while standing/sitting (20 times or so) and from, (laughing before I could even type it) playing thriller type multiplayer action FPS games that tend to get super intense when you play competitively, while sitting. I have a couple of autoimmune diseases that I am currently battling into remission and healing from. I have several docs and they are in all areas of medicine from Gastroenterology to Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal teas, you name it. CAUTION: the worst thing any of you (myself included) is to start talking about the other health misfortunes and trying to find parallels. You are just scaring the heck out of other people and if you know anything about placebo, you are with me, just furthering the problem. Occam's Razor isn't just a "neat" concept. As one who has dealt with more than a fair share of health bumps for half my life, just relax....Relax guys and gals. I saw a few posts from a level headed commenter suggesting this to be simply an "adrenaline rush." (hence the Occam's Razor sentiment). It could even be that this is a good symptom, meaning your reflex system is in fact working and when it comes time to really fight or spread those wings and get the heck out of here your system is very prepared. I know pain, I have Crohn's Disease (in remission for 10 years now) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (working on healing and beating this too). I don't drink, eat like a champ, regular exercise, good vitamins/supplements. There is good pain and bad pain. This certainly isn't an awesome thing to have happen following an orgasm (or while driving), but just be honest with yourself and the people you are sexual with and laugh about it...laugh about it the way you laugh when you are terrified. Smile and say this sucks...take a deep breath, another deep breath, again and again until passes. I don't let much wind me up, maybe my adrenal glands are just getting their kicks however they can. Not trying to sound like a hippy dippy, but stop and relax and smile. Shake your head and say to yourself, "whatever that is, it is unnnnpleasant." laugh once more. I don't steer clear of orgasms. In fact, I say bring it on, maybe the more exposure the better my body will handle it...shoot, maybe next time my back will flex so hard that my nose will touch my heels :) Have camera ready.
