The elbows and emotional stress

“There are studies that have shown that chronic pain can not only stem from a physical injury but also due to stress and emotional issues” – Dr. Susanne Babbel for Psychology Today said: “Often, physical pain serves to alert the person that there is still emotional work to be done.”

Those who experience stress and anxiety tense and contract their muscles, causing fatigue and cramps over time. This is why many people use the wrong medicine for their chronic pain.

According to Dr. Babbel’s theory, this is what your body is telling you

The Elbows

Humans, by nature, resist significant changes and fear the new. Therefore, illogical stubbornness is a common response to these situations, causing pain in the joints. Remember that sometimes life is not as complicated as we make it seem. Do not waste your energy fighting for things you cannot change. Allow life to flow and support yourself for a glorious journey.

De-stress to Heal

The next time pain arises, try to relax instead of taking medication. Heal the source of the pain by reducing anxiety and stress. The physical body is sending you a message about your emotions. Do not silence the messenger with a pill. Listen to your body because it wants the best for you.
