neck and shoulders

They are still so tight! I have been fighting this for about 7 weeks, started going to massage. I think it is starting to help, but I can't shake the feeling its something else. I have a "ball" at the base of my head on the right side and I am starting to freak again. I keep rubbing it or trying to move my head so I know its my muscles in the shoulders etc. Then I worry about brain ans., etc...help?

I have this all the time and know it is horrible, but it really is just tension and worse when anxiety is high. I have relaxation tapes and try to visulise the release of tension from these areas...this sometimes helps. I am sure the massage will ease it for you. Just important to remember that it is just tension and anxiety and nothing more sinister. xx

Thank you for replying. I hope that it goes away soon! I try to relax, I am going to try some yoga tonight, I bought some dvds last year, but never got into it. Its hard to believe what muscles, tension, anxiety can do to a person.
