does this sound like gas, or something worse?
For about a week now ive had horrible pain everywhere, and someone suggested gas. but can't seem to rule that out on my own obviously.
heres my symptoms, and mostly after eating does all of this happen;
- horrible lower back pain/cramping ( & pain between shoulder blades)
-low grade fever, 99.1
- horrible stomach pain (moves from lower areas, to upper right side)
- not too often, but sometimes it hurts to even sit or stand straight up.
-not finishing meals like i used to.
-passing gas more frequently.
im able to go to the bathroom, as i have been taking a stool softener, along with iron medicine and a daily vitamin. (& she told me i was able to take these all together) also ive taken tylenol and used a heating pad but they dont seem to help.
any help please?

Yes, gas is a part of the problem, but just that, a part. The reason you get extra gas is when the stomach is releasing extra gastric acid into itself and it is breaking down what ever is there faster which is releasing the gas. The stomach releases the extra gastric acid when there is presure on the nerves going to it and that happens where the nerves leave the spine where tight back muscles can press onto them. The muscles are tight in this area because you have pinched muscles in your lower back pulling them tight and causing the pain in the lower back area. The pains are also moving up to your shoulder blades for the pains there. Pressure on the nerves to your stomach is blocking the messages to and from the brain as well so the hunger messages aren't reaching the brain so you feel full. to get rid of these problems you have to free up your back muscles to release the ones that are pinched which will release the tightness in the rest of them that are causing the other pains and here's how to free them up:
Back:
(do while sitting on a chair)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front, and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm as straight as possible. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, then release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
