I'm always wary of doing symptom posts, but I'm not looking for reassurance, just some tips really.
For most of this year so far I've had aches on my right side, which can range from discomfort that's barely pain, to quite bad, and roams anywhere from my shoulder to my calves, but most often in my chest, abdomen, or thigh.
I've been to a doctor, and they had a poke around and was sure it was muscular. I've been through the whole panic for various things, but the fact it roams so widely, and there's been times where it's gone away for a while, means it's not logical to go looking for any nasty reasons than muscle tension, and I strongly suspect it's yet another physical manifestation of this bloody anxiety.
For those who've had muscle pains due to anxiety, how do you deal with them? Exercise? Rest? Or will they just be there until I'm less stressed?
