My experiences is somatic pain is real with anxiety and so when I treated my anxiety my pain decreased. My pain was especially in my lower back my neck my head. I would think it would be worth ruling out especially in the pain that you're in.
I also began doing somatic stretches from YouTube videos targeting those painful areas which also helped. Somatic stretches are gentle stretches for people who are in chronic pain that retrain the nerves in the muscle and brain.
I suffer from same thing,and I'm having bad arthritis pain in Lot joints even my feet,it's a terrible thing,I feel no one cares anymore,I gott keep hearing about there's a big drug problem? What the hells that got to do w putting me out pain or at least easing my pain,I'm killing myself taking the OTC meds,Aspirin being most used...I have 3 disc's in my neck shot too, had few bad accidents none my fault,and I'm left to suffer...I hope u can get relief cause it's no way to live like this,I've become a hermit....
L5S1 bulging when it pushes on my sciatic nerve I live on my floor. It sucks. Pain can cause anxiety. Now that you are forced to take some time think about how you want to spend your time. Allow your back to heal, don't push too fast. I have to lay flat so I suggest listening to books on tape, it's nice to have someone read you a story. You need to give your brain something do so you don't go bonkers. Maybe practice a foreign language. The problem with tv or a computer is the change of body position, craning your neck.... When you can try a bath with Epsom salts, use hot or cold whatever feels good, gentle stretching arms, hands....
