Is back pain common?

[kilometres]

Hi all

Iv'e been having panic attacks almost every day for the last two months, and mentaly i feel confident and am challenging myself every day. But out of the two main symtoms that do me in,(Back and neck ache) back ache is concerning me. The usual throbbing and tingling down my spine, accompanied by the irrational fear of a serious problem with my spine i can deal with, as i understand, its purely panic, but for the last week the lower part of my neck and lower back have been making cracking sounds when i get up from resting, and cause brief pressure. Just wondering if anybody has same problem, or even an explanation. Could it be the muscle and ligaments in my back r causing this due to tension from anxiety. thanx

Hi Kil,

I can relate to the cracking from neck and back my shoulder also cracks. I've had physio for my back neck and shoulder and I remember the physio telling me that the cracking is a good sign as it's freeing up our joints. Hope this helps you. xx
