Looking for anyone who experiences roaming mid back pain. It seems like my anxiety likes to bug me in a million ways. Now my back hurts on and off. I don't have loss of range of motion and don't think I hurt it, but it comes and goes as sharp pain in both left, right, and center of the back. Stretching seems to help. Of course, my anxiety thinks it's the sign of something deadly. Oh, this anxiety is a real pain. Thanks all.
Hi sunnycms.. anxiety is a curse eh.. Your back pain is probably due to the so called 'million effects' it has on our bodies.. Have you tried taking a hot bath, listen to some calm music & 100's of other 'go to' methods to relieve stress & anxiety? Hope you feel better soon.. Hugs
Oh,geez. I've tried everything. Coming off SSRI and caffeine at the same time is really too much for me to handle. I'm a mess. I was such a normal, happy, giving person and then this. It is so darn tough to wake up each day with fear, pain, anger, and sadness. No way to live at all. I feel like my life is over and I'm left with this heap of a mess called me. WTH? I have exercised, tried vitamins and minerals, eating healthy, meditation, accupuncture, and more. It just won't go away. I think I am an anxious person and the withdraw from the drug and caffeine have really done me in. Not sure if I should go back on meds as I've read such awful things about going back on.
Anyhow, thanks for letting me vent. I do see lots of people who quit caffeine have back pain, flu-like symptoms, and more for quite some time. Oh, for the love of life! Nothing is easy about any of this!
Thanks for listening. Now off for a calming bath and a good book.
Please dont beat yourself up abouit hun.. I honestly dont know how hard it is go give up caffeine BUT you are so brave to be giving up SSRI & caffeing together.. Dont be scared of what other people say eg; downside med effects... we are all different & have all kinds of bothering symptoms eitther starting a drug or withdrawing from meds.. You will know IF you have diverse reactions to meds.. I really do hope you feel well soon.. enjoy your time out to relax & read
You're awesome and I appreciate your words more than you know. Thank you and God bless.
