A couple weeks ago I was having a tough time. One morning I woke up feeling slightly off, but brushed it off and went to work as normal. When I got there things seemed to be fine. 

For some background, I work PRN for a physical therapy company at the front desk and I was at a clinic I’m not normally at with a staff I’m not used to. About an hour into the shift I went to turn my head to speak to a patient and my head would not turn. I was suddenly aware of the tightness and pain in my neck on the left side only. Because I work at a physical therapy clinic I was given a tennis ball to try and relax the muscle and one of the PTs showed me a stretch which really helped to regain some movement, however the left side of my neck was still hurting. 

As the shift went on, I noticed the tightness began spreading, but stayed on the left side of my body. It started by moving to the base of my skull to my shoulder, into my arm and back. The muscles were all tight and tingly, but again, only on my left side. By the end of the work day, it was down to my hip. After I got home and had dinner it was all down my leg, feeling tight and tingly. When I went to bed that night even the left side of my face hurt. 

I’ve still had a hard time with these muscles being tight/tingly/painful since this odd event. I’m very convinced it is anxiety related but I’ve never heard of this happening to anyone else. 

Does anyone have any experience with this happening to them?
