Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

This might sound weird, but does anyone get aches and pains when they're anxious? I feel like everytime I'm going somewhere that causes anxiety, my ankles start to hurt?? So strange, right? 


Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Peace, love, and hugs too!! Hope everyone has a great day!!!

i don't find the aching ankles so strange. my 11 year old is about 6 weeks into mystery pains in his ankle which have us running wild goose chases through medical parks. nobody has found an explanation. a chiropractor has offered relief, but only some relief. the ache goes on.

my top theory is he finally letting go of the grief he started repressing on his 5 year old retreat to video game world. as his aches limit his mobility, he is finally opening up about all that trauma. the death of both parents was possibly the least of it. 'bout freakin' time, my brave young man. i hope healing happens here. just hoping.

hope the gobble fest you hobbled to was worthy of thanks giving.

I mostly get just muscle tension and chronic pain flares. The new one lately is between my shoulder blades more towards the bottom of the blades. I’ve had mobile shoulders so I keep trying to strengthen them with PT exercises but everything I do makes them flare with pain.
Wonder have you ever had ankle injuries in the past?

That’s not uncommon. My stomach can become upset and do a number on me if I am anxious about going someplace. Muscle aches and pains are common with anxiety and stress.
