Hi 

I'm male, 30 years old and I have health anxiety for 2 years.  Basically, I have a neck pain in my right side for 12 days now. Also, I have a tingling feeling in my right shoulder blade, it is not painful but you feel uncomfortable, it is like ants walking on my skin. For my neck, It feels like stiff more when I'm sitting and stiff less while I'm laying down. I'm very afraid that I have fibromyalgia.  I walk around 10 km every day without fatigue and I sleep around 8 hours per day. I'm student so most of my time sitting in a desk and my neck hurts more when I'm sitting in this desk. 

I have stress in the last two months and my anxiety now is so high,

Any one can relate to this?

    Same here. It comes and goes when I have more severe anxiety. Generally what happens is you get so tense ypu dont evn realise your tense and holding your muscles all tight then leads to stiffness in your neck etc and causes the pain its very familjar to me as well. There are some good stretches you can find for your neck and arms and also some deep breathing and muscle relaxtion stuff that would really help you out.

    For an easy one try breathing out all the air in your lungs then slowly in for 4 sec and out for 4 secs. Anxiety has a weird way of tensing us up with out us even realising it good luck

      Thank you Tom, 

      I keep thinking that this is because of fibromyalgia and the pain will be with me for ever.

    If been having severe pins/needles in my arms legs for 7 months.. I don’t know if I’m dealing with an anxiety disorder or what so yes I know how you feel.. I’ve been to neurologist, ENT, cardiologist and now rheumatologist so far everything has checked out fine..  don’t know if this is fibromyalgia as my skin, muscles and joints don’t hurt 😫

    swimming will work the muscles in a different manner and can relieve some symptoms.
