On the same site as my previous blog I found this story about the link between stress and pain.
This link has long been established, although medical researchers do still not yet fully understand it. The point is that it is recognised, and stress will often manifest itself as shoulder, neck, or back pain, singly or in combination.
Carmen Green, MD, associate professor of anesthesiology and director of pain medicine research at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, says patients should try to manage their stress to be in the best possible state in order to benefit from other treatments.
I can personally attest to stress being connected to pain. Last year for a while I was in a particularly stressful situation for a short while. I won’t go into the details, but I developed really excruciating neck pain.
My situation became resolved, and within 24 hours my neck pain had gone. Dr. Green gives several stress relief tips which you can see at the full article here.
