Is there a connection?

Ok - so since September I've been having issues with my hips and area near my tailbone. I actually did pretty good for about 3 weeks then in the last two weeks I've fallen back into pain and walking like a duck. Muscle relaxers aren't even cutting it anymore. I did go to a spine specialist and their pt area cancelled every single one of my appointments, so I bagged them. I was going to get chiropractic care 3 times a week with 2 theraputic massages. Stopped doing this because all of a sudden my insurance decided to stop paying - OUCH! I was mentioning to my DH that I had the runs today. Well, during each really BAD bout of pain I get the runs. Do you think I could have something with my intestional track wrong and my lower half is just saying "HELLO - PAY ATTENTION TO ME?" Just so ya know, my surgeon is in Utah and I live in AK, so dropping by just ain't gonna happen. Suggestions, comments thoughts?

if you are prone to irritable bowel, stress will make it flare up. Maybe call your pcp and get an eval?

I've never had that problem before HOWEVER, I am under a TREMENDOUS amount of stress. My surgeon's office is calling me tomorrow and we're going to go through some stuff and he'll let me know what he wants my GP to do for me here. Thanks Willow!
