Muscle aches and nausea

[Funkyfaerie]

Hi,

I am hoping someone can relate to my post.

For the past two and a half years, I have suffered with painful aching muscles and nausea. The muscles in my back, shoulders, neck and sometimes my arms and legs. This aching makes me nauseous and sometimes I get an unbalanced feeling and upset tummy with it, I sometimes feel like I'm swaying a bit.

I feel ten times worse in the mornings to the point where I dread going to bed, as I dread waking up and facing it all again. The whole thing is a vicious circle. I have tried various medications and vitamains to no avail.

I am just at my wits end with this, I'm afraid to sleep as I don't want to sleep an awkward position for fear of making it worse. I am exhausted and my whole life is a .misery, and I can't go out my h anymore.

Can this really be anxiety? Can anyone give me a little hope. I would be so grateful for just a few words.

Thank you

Hi Funkyfaerie. I'm sorry you are in so much pain. What have the doctors told you about this?

About the swaying feeling. Could it be vertigo or an inner ear problem. Maybe you can visit an ENT doctor if you haven't already done so.

Maybe you can try getting some good pillows and a good matress foam topper to relieve your muscle aches. Even some massage therapy.

Hi Swan,

Thanks for replying...I forgot to mention that I have had many tests including a brain scan and everything is clear, so I suppose it must be anxiety...got a lot of family stress going on which doesn't help I suppose.

Yes. Anxiety can bring in a lot of symptoms. Your muscles aches can be from stress, sometimes that can give you a lot of tension. Maybe a good massage can help you.

Hey funky I also get these symptoms mainly the swaying I feel like my coordination and legs are weak. Try getting into a jacuzzi and just relaxing and breathe focus on that and what swan said try massage therapy. Don’t give up

Hello funkyfaerie,I can definitely relate to that feeling. I experience muscle aches all the time (especially my upper back/ribs area) because I'm anxious all the time,which makes me super conscious of my breathing and then I end up straining myself trying to do that. And the muscle aches gives me stomach discomfort..a sort of tight feeling? On really bad days when the back pain is too much,I take melatonin and ibuprofen to help me sleep. It usually works,but it's a cycle all over again in the morning.

Thank you all for your replies, as you know strangely it helps to know you're not only, but I wouldn't wish this horrible feeling on anyone.

I hate the mornings as I wake up feeling rubbish straight away and dreading the day ahead....it's been over 2 years now and I'm so fed up, but you have to carry on...
