Hi all,
I know this is one of the most common things posted on here and I've experienced arm pains enough to know they are a classic anxiety symptom. What I'm experiencing this time though is more of an intense aching in my upper left arm and shoulder. It seemed to come on when I was on the benefits claim line -granted this was a REALLY long phone call and I thought I must've been resting my arm in a strange position for too long.
I felt the need to stretch it out when I was on the phone and then when I got off the phone it became more painful and intense. I worked myself into a bit of a panic worrying at what it could be, and then realised I hadn't took my meds yet today (which I just did!)
Does it sound like this is just muscle/nerve related or even anxiety?
Any advice appreciated!
