I suffer from health anxiety or at least i hope. I have tons of physical symptoms that I have grown to just deal with but that is bothering me more than normal is the aching arms. It feels like the beginning of the flu symptoms. This has been months maybe even years. It comes and goes but has been more frequent. Does anyone else have this symptom? I know the doctor will say anxiety so no point in going. This aching soreness is driving me insane.
I’m guessing no one else has this issue.
I suffer bad with health anxiety and I had periods where my shoulder/neck ache a lot, and become very stuff , along with loads of other muscles in my body aching !! and of course my health anxiety makes me think it is something else !! I read somewhere that shoulder can ache from tensing the body when stressed/anxious without realising you are actually doing it
hi Kayla, is the pain in your forearms? or is it more a shoulder, joint type of pain?
actually. I’ve got both. however, I also have a real diagnosis of something called PMR. it’s essentially inflammation of your joints and muscels. it changes ALL the time, but can be VERY painful. sometimes, I can’t even brush my hair as it’s too painful to lift my arms!
feel free to ask questions.
