«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 Upper Back
Upper back pain is often the result of not feeling appreciated or of a fear of love. It’s painful to feel a lack of support from family and close friends. One solution is to open up communication. Reconnect with those you love and go out and meet new people. Be friendly and don’t hold back your words of affection.
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.
