«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 Shoulders
Difficult decisions weigh on your shoulders, whether you have one issue running through your mind or several. Maybe someone is pressuring you, or maybe you’re just indecisive by nature. Whatever the case may be, lighten the load on your shoulders by sharing your doubts with someone close to you. Even if they can’t offer advice, talking about your concerns out loud can ease them and help you find a solution.
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.
