Today I have been feeling a sharp pain on the inside of my left arm. At first it almost felt like I had blood drawn from the inside of my arm. it occasionally radiates to under my arm but its primarily dead center of my inner arm bicep/tricep. I have been battling daily health anxiety for the past 2 months with a list of symptoms too long for this post. When I get to the point of getting attacks, it is severe and always with physical symptoms (already went through the numb left face/arm/palpatations in years prior and before then was the dissasociative attacks with hyper-focused breathing/swallowing.) Although I am getting random pains that come and go and twitching, This seems to be a different pain. almost as if someone punched my inner arm. Just wondering if anyone with chronic pain anxiety has felt this.
Hello
If you have not seen your GP I would advise you talk to your GP and get any Anxiety concerns checked out
Many patients with Chronic Health Conditions have problems with various problems that could in some way be related to Anxiety. That does not mean the problem is not or is Anxiety, although with Anxiety it is part of being sensitized by various pains in the body. For example my Chronic Health Condition does as a matter of course mimic various severe health conditions. You need to understand a Chronic Condition patient will get various health problems that present same as Anxiety in some forms, However most Chronic conditions have been diagnosed given time, like in my case I know what to expect and given that I use various tools to help myself.
Get checked out and then move on. If you have tests accept the results, move on and accept what was not found.

Doctor ordered an EMG but it’s going to take another 2 months. Initially I had the ALS scare from the body wide twitching for weeks; sore legs every day. Then catching myself tensing when I’d wake up in the morning. I still havent had any weakness other than perceived and my ballance and coordination are fine, but it seems like my muscles are torn easily/wear easily. I’m going to call doc tomorrow and give him an update on localized pain. I’m also having a really hard time gaining weight. I know anxiety can cause this too, but it seems that too many factors are aligning with other diseases. I’ve only had a single blood test. I dont have any previous conditions other than diverticulitis which only inflames in times of anxiety/stress. Other than that, I’m a fit 33yo industrial worker.
