[wins829]

The pass few day. My neck and back are hurt so bad. My question is can anxiety cause the pain.

The simple answer is ..."yes":)

If you are an anxious person anyway, then it can cause painful muscles yes, but if you're not normally anxious then perhaps ask a medical professional about it if you've had the pain for a while with no relief.

Absolutely it can. If you're constantly tense, its going to take its toll.

I don't think any part of the body is immune from anxiety symptoms ! The head and neck are one of the first to suffer even in those people who say they are not anxious . X

ive had a pain in the middle of my ribs for days now. i know its just the anxiety as whenevr i dont think about it, it goes away so it cant be serious or i'd be distracted by it.
