Was my worst symptom. My muscles wouldn’t release. I did physical therapy, massage therapy, self massage all day, and chiropractic. Isn’t release until I dealt with the anxiety. Was awful!

thanks for replying, yes I tried bowen therapy, kind of like trigger point therapy, used the back buddy, kind of tool with rounded points to reach around neck area, self massage also and nothing seems to work. I'm thinking I'm paying too much attention to it which might be making it worse.

Exactly, and im still going through the massages and therapy now, although my anxiety is much better thank goodness, i still tense up and my job doesnt help either.

It's horrible and the aching makes me feel sickly. I clench my jaw a lot too, without realising it!

yep so much so I've trapped a nerve 😐 my posture is so bad when I panic that I've had to ask friends and family to shout at me to stand up straight it is helping though. If you can find what it is you're doing you can look at ways to correct it but unfortunately it can take a long time

Not what you're looking for?
