Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
The muscles in my entire body are constantly super tensed from anxiety (stemming from ptsd), it gets pretty bad and makes it hard to stand, walk, pick up heavy-ish things, and my whole body hurts all the time. I've tried everything I can find to relax my mind since the tension does come from mental illness, but nothing has helped. Meditation, music, breathing exercises, walking, massage, art, etc. It's so exhausting and painful but the doctors won't do anything to help since I'm young, they just told me to stretch, which I've been working on. I'm going to talk to my psychiatrist again later this week but if anyone has any advice to lessen the pain, or better yet, the tension, I'd really appreciate it!

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....
Are you sure its tension from anxiety?
My jaw can clench at times but the whole body is way too much too too much
Activan and Clozepam are two of the tranquilizers that have helped me the most. They are prescribed by psych docs.
Other things to try are: a heating pad, or wrap yourself completely in an electric blanket. I take an anti-anxiety medication (prescribed by my Doctor), and I'm in talk therapy with a psychologist (once a week for an hour). I also take muscle relaxers at night.
Massage is good, and I also do Physical Therapy 2 times a week.
Insist your Doctors treat you now; don't let them tell you you're to young!!!
Good luck!
