For two years now, I’ve experienced almost constant neck and shoulder pain/tension to the point that it interferes with my ability to work, enjoy life, etc. Sometimes I resort to just laying down. I have to stretch and pop my neck a lot and it might provide very momentary relief. I know it’s not a postural thing because the worse my stress is, the worse the pain and tension (it sort of flares up). Sometimes I’ll try and massage it or use a heating pad, or try exercise/movement, but the pain always comes back. I have a feeling it won’t go away until I get my anxiety under control. I am someone who also bottles up emotions and they get stuck in my body. So, how do I get relief? Has anyone else experienced this?
