I have had anxiety for most of my adult life. I have taken meds at various times. I still take lexapro daily. I am wondering if there are other people out there who experience body aches and tenderness due to anxiety. When mine is bad I hurt all over, but particularly in the head, neck, and shoulper area. When I press those areas it really hurts. I get a massage once a month, but it only helps for a very short time. I am looking for a way to deal with this issue since it is very difficult to handel day in and day out. Between frequent bowel movements, knee pain due to necrosis and anxiety, there are days that I seem to barely manage to get through. I teach elementary school as well and that certainly adds to my stress.
