A member asked:
Is chronic pain syndrome caused by anxiety? keep having 1 type of pain after another which takes a long time to go away - ankle, lower back, neck, etc
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Anxiety can definantly cause pain. It is not the only cause and other possibilities should be ruled out before it is blamed for your symptoms. Often doctors are reluctant to confront this head on. You should ask your doctor this directly. This will make it easier to open a frank discussion about the anxiety problems.
