Does anyone else get pains in their armpits that sometimes radiates into shoulders/and breasts from time to time?
I have been to my doctor twice about this and they do not seem worried. Keep telling me it's mechanical and giving me painkillers. I'm convinced it's something a lot worse. I don't even want to say. I'm a nervous wreck because of it. I'm too scared to wear deoderant so have stopped wearing it which is making me self conscious and not helping. They are so achy.
Hi Jac extreme muscle tension can cause pain everywhere in the body.You are also being hypervigilant which highlights any pain.You appear to have health anxiety so instead of going to your doctor for all your symptoms tell him how you are feeling emotionally and ask to be referred to a therapist.l am sure he has already picked up on your anxiety so it is now time to do something about it.Reassurance only helps for a very short period of time as the fears creep back quickly.
Totally agree with Marlene. Muscle tension, anxiety. You need to discuss your worries with doctor. The more anxious you get worrying it's something worse, the more tense you'll get, the more pains you'll get. Talk to doc , they treat a lot of anxiety related stuff , hope you feel a little reasured❤️
Oh my gosh jac am going through this very thing but am due my lady week and putting it down to hormones my hormones are all out of wack at the minute and have had these aches and pains long time ago before anxiety and it was always related to hormones... I have been getting it past couple weeks now and like you was getting me anxious but am fed up with this anxiety so I've just been telling myself to shut up a can't sleep tho with it as my brain gets worse at night as a feel it more and it for some reason just focuses on it.. I've been putting earfones in just to keep my thoughts away but this it turn doesn't help me sleep either.. hope you feel better soon and just know am going throUgh exact same thing sore right now infact
Heather, I have had this non stop for around 6 weeks now. It really is messing with my head. I feel so dizzy when I focus on it so much!! It's disgustingly debilitating!! Hope you get better soon. Keep me updated.
You're so right. I am reassured then it quickly goes away and I'm back to square one. I definitely need help. Especially if this is nothing to worry about.
Yeah I totally understand... you've went to doctors and they're seeing nothing so try and calm yourself down and keep telling yourself it's all anxiety.. you know sometimes it can just be an ache or pain and cause we have tendency to concentrate on it and make it worse it stays longer... a know this is what happens to me anyways.. am trying my best to ignore as pain killers don't take it away...
You poor thing, sound really fed up. Know that feeling when you just can't stop thinking the worst, even when people reasure you your mind soon goes back to worry going round and round. Glad heather contacted you, very similar, hang in there, you're not alone❤️
