Stress Causing Pain

The top of my left shoulder begins to hurt the instant I start stressing or panicking.

Anyone else?

Any tips or suggestions?

Yup. Same here. The only thing that works is trying to not stress, which is more stressful than the original stress 🤦🏻‍♀️. Try doing anything to not think about it. Mind over matter, yea? Go for a run, meditate, have your favorite tea... I wish I had the magic answer, but hopefully my response tells you I care. And I'm sorry that you have to deal with the same shit as me.

I have the same thing, it causes tension headaches that are so uncomfortable. I also have really bad knots.

I suggest taking a warm bath with epsom salt, stretching/yoga, meditating, and drinking plenty of water. Hope all is well:)
