I feel in a very similar situation. Throughout my life, I've always had abdominal pain under stressing situations, and in specific scenarios of high stress, there's a specific spot that hurts. The funny thing is that one of my grandma, one of my aunts and a cousin suffer from pain in the exact same spot (just below the belly button). After an accident in which I broke my cheekbone, the pain increased to become chronic, and it's been 8 years since. I haven't found a solution yet, and western medicine has been of no help. I've read a few psychology books (Code to Joy, The Divided Mind) and it makes sense to me that traumas can actually cause pain. But neither of them could actually explain similar pain throughout families. Actually, Code to Joy (that helps you clear out the effects of traumas through a body-mind algorithm) has helped me reduce pain in many situations, but the overall pain is still there. I haven't found anyone either doing research in this topic, unfortunately.
