Read this today. I found it interesting as I often find I develop back pain during periods of depression.

Can you tell us where you read it, so we can look for the source? I'm interested as I suspect OH's back pain is linked to his, and my, moods

As the link has been removed... Keywords, article name, journal name, etc.?

Ah, sorry guys, I can't remember. It wasn't a credible journal article, was more of a 'science news' site.

Yes, and it becomes like a dog chasing its tail. If pain becomes chronic it feeds depression. I sense a strong link to my pain with all of this, even though there are also physiological explanations. When really stressed, the pain gets worse...and when the pain gets worse, I get further stressed and go into meltdown mode...triggers all kinds of powerless feelings. The physical and emotional pain stuff is interesting...all gnarly wound together in the nervous system.
