For the last week I have been suffering from very bad shoulder pain that goes down my arm, my GP has prescribed Naproxen but is not helping much. I also suffer from IBS and worry a lot.
I am now starting to feel generally unwell where I can hardly get out of bed and if I do, feel sort of shakey and weak and just want to lay down again. Could constant pain be causing this or is it anxiety.

Pain causes our body to go on alert. Breathing gets faster, blood pressure goes up
and if you happen to suffer from anxiety to begin with, that gets worse as well.
This is a time when using some cognitive pain therapy may help with reducing your pain level as well as the anxiety. Pain begets Pain. Feel better soon.
