Anxiety causing constant physical pain
Posted , 12 users are following.
hi guys,
my anxiety has been through the roof the past few weeks. im getting really bad joint pain, my hands, elbows, shoulder blades you name it, cheat pain the lot. its really scary thinking anxiety can do this much damage. i was scared I had developed a chronic disease. can anyone else relate to this? my doctor is also putting it down to anxiety but my mind is fixated on a disease that is causing all this discomfort.

I would personally say ive suffered with it all of my life. Looking back now, even in my teenage years I used to feel like this but not as bad if that makes sense? The older I've got the more I've understood and educated myself around anxiety. My mother passed away at the age of 41 due to pneumonia so that has impacted my health anxiety to the extremes.
