MY BACK!

Past few weeks I've had daily horrible aching in centre or my back, both shoulders, tops of my arms, my neck! I always think it's my heart! Even had heart checked by docs they said it was fine! Just causes me so much anxiety when it starts to hurt!! Really painful I don't know what to do! Surely anxiety can't cause this pain?! Can the THIS BAD

Bad posture? Look up stretching exercises on you tube and see if they help.

Mate trust me it does!!!!!!!!!

I've experienced all this and thought I was gunna die .. no1 understands but the more u think there's something wrong the worst the pains get!

If u have been tested and docs say ure fine then trust in them! They know the different between anxiety and heart problems! I've recently come to terms with this and started feeling a bit better xxx

Have you had x-rays? I'm seeing a physical therapist on the 28th. My GP referred me because I'm really tense in the shoulders, neck and back area.

Do stretches and help release the tension. I keep telling people this on here but they never listen lol

[Peacewithin1 in reply to Hidden]

I've been trying lol. I'm also walking on my treadmill and working out with 5lbs. Dumbbells just to keep in shape and active lol. It's helping.

Yeah had chest/back X-rays nothing there

Anxiety can cause alot of tension in the muscles, the symptoms you describe are common amongst other anxiety sufferers, you can be tensed without realizing, find something that works on relaxing you, light exercise n audio books do it for me, check out tips on youtube x

Yeah. When I'm tense and anxious i do a body scan and 10 times out of 10 i am wearing my shoulders as earrings. Relax those suckers and the pain will reduce!!
