Accepted Answer

Experts differ: Some authorities maintain that there are preganglionic sympathetic fibers in iii vii ix and x.

Accepted Answer

: There are nociceptors at the end of the nerve are stimulated by temperature, pressure, or chemicals and when they get stimulated, they release neurotransmitters that travel to the next nerve cell and then stimulate that cell, and this happens over and over until it gets to the brain and in the brain, this is interpreted as pain. Interestingly, with the expression "it is just in your head." It is!

Accepted Answer

Yes: First, be sure you are minimally physically active every day.  Then, look up "mindfulness-based stress reduction".  Try to do at least five minutes twice a day.

At last resort, there are meds which work best with therapy and exercise.
