Anxiety causing nerve pain
Posted , 4 users are following.
Please note: had every test under the sun from pain killers to MRI. Have suffered for so many years. Paid thousands privately.
Ok this is what happens, a build up of stress in my life over a period, a "EVENT", then Bang, Anxiety kicks in. Then my shoulder muscles contract and I get referered pain to my hands/pain accross shoulders and the anxiety keeps going and it gets in a circle. I have tried the CBT route and does help but I am past this now.
Clonezapam helps, but makes me doppy, pain killers do nothing, Diazapam maybe takes the edge off at 2mg. Had anti D's, Amitriptlin and pregapentine.
Pain lasts for around 3 months then if I am lucky it carms for a few months, I eat well, do all the things I should be, I am 41 and I want my life back.
When the anxiety isnt there I have back pain and some referred pain which is managable. Cant go on...

hi!
sorry to hear about this but i have exactly the same thing when something triggers my anxiety really bad. shoulders so tense and it causes really awful pain in shoulder, whole arm and sometimes in my chest also. I suddenly find myself keeping my shoulders so tense when stressful feeling or event appears.
i hope you found help.
