A member asked:
Could pain from the back of my neck /surrounding area be related to stress or anxiety disorder?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Definitely: When people experience anxiety they often hold tension in various areas of their body. The neck and head are two of the most common areas where this occurs. Chronic muscle tension can surely result in pain.

Neck pain: If medical conditions are excluded, then stress is a factor.
