Hi all,
Been getting lots of back and side aches. Sometimes shooting pains but mainly dull aches. It feels like its in my muscles more than anywhere else.
Now's a good time to point out I have been INCREDIBLY, RIDICULOUSLY stressed and anxious over the past six weeks. My dad was diagnosed with cancer and its sent my anxiety / health anxiety into overdrive. I know my muscles have been very tense and hard since this news so Im guessing its all linked to anxiety (I dont believe its anything else in the slightest - blood tests, urine tests - all OK).
But I also wonder whether muscle aches, pains and spasms can be brought on by lack of excercise?
Up until about 5/6 weeks ago I was doing EXTENSIVE excercise everday for upto an hour. ALOT of muscle work. I havent done ANY since my daughter was born (yes, six weeks ago also) and now I have all sorts of back aches, side aches etc. I wonder whether suddenly stopping excercise can have an adverse effect on you muscles? Coupled with my anxiety (where its common to cause aches and pains to be exaggerated) do you think why this is causing me a bit of grief?
Im happy to report that Im slowly coming out of my little blip (everyday seems a little brighter in terms of where my minds at) but would like to get some of your opinions too.
