Aches and Pains

[Laine]

For the last few months I've had terrible pains around the back of my neck and shoulders and I'm constantly 'hunched' up. Over the last couple of days it seems to have spread around to the front of my chest which aches alot - do you think its all muscle tension??

I get alot of aches .
I usually can tell its tension when massage or heat seems to help.

definitley sounds like muscle tension. When we're anxious and on guard we tense as if ready to 'fight or flight' so it's no wonder we start to ache after a while. Try gentle stretches and exercise or like Mishel says massage is great or a hot bath.
