Did I overeat or am I having contrax?

My stomach is as hard as a rock and my sides and lower back are radiating with pain.  I just had an entire burrito from Chipotle with chips and a soda.  Then I got a frozen caramel from Panera on the way home.  I'm sitting on the couch now and my entire middle (belly, sides, back) is killing me.

How long does it last? ?Is it coming and going?

I did notice around 38 weeks with my second baby that I would get more Braxton Hicks contractions after dinner. ?They would stay about 10 minutes apart for an hour, then stop.?

Sounds like a BH contrax. Is it different from what they normally feel like? I mean obviously it's different or you wouldn't have posted, but is it just more intense, or completely different? I got them continuously with DS and thought maybe they were light early contrax (they were more frequent and intense than with DD), but when I went in for my c-section, they said they were just BH.

According to my ob, bh shouldn't be painful.  It is entirely possible that they could be real.  I had a lot of bh about two weeks before I delivered, and they were never painful, and they weren't really into my back.  I don't know, though.  I'm sure everyone is different.
