Ow yes, I've had the back and shoulder pain from hell because of anxiety and stress. What I do is I purposely tense for five seconds and then relax, dropping your arms and shoulders. It just helps to remind you what it feels like to have relaxed shoulders, if anything else!

Is your neck pain worse on a morning, gradually getting better as the day progresses ? If so it may be allied to your sleeping position or alternatively it could be posture related. Of course the anxiety may be making it worse (does it ever make anything better ?) as there is a tendency for anxious people to tense up the muscles and joints which can lead to all sorts of random pains.
