12 Parts of the Body That Hurt Due to Stress
«Studies have shown that chronic pain can stem not only from a physical injury but also from stress and emotional problems» – Dr. Susanne Babbel for Psychology Today said, «Frequently, physical pain functions to warn the person that there is still emotional work to be resolved.».
Those who have stress and anxiety tense and contract their muscles, causing fatigue and cramping over time. So many people use the wrong medicine for their chronic pain.
According to Dr. Babbel's theory, this is what your body is telling you about:
The Neck
Resentment is an emotion that’s destructive to your neck, whether it’s directed at others or at yourself. It’s hard to let go and forgive, but redirecting your thoughts and changing your attitude will make a difference. You won’t always meet your expectations anymore, and that’s okay. People don’t always try to hurt you, even if it sometimes feels that way. Think about the things you love, your unique abilities, and all your accomplishments.
De-stress to Heal
The next time you feel pain, try to relax instead of taking medication. Address the source of the pain by reducing anxiety and stress. Your body is sending you a message about your emotions. Don't silence the messenger with a tablet. Listen to your body—it wants what's best for you.
