A member asked:
For 3 years i have been experiencing some anxiety. along with this i have been having a lot of muscle and joint pain. is this common with anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Assume the pain is coming from a physical derangement before assuming it comes from a psychological component in order to rule out major physical things that could be more easily corrected. Way easier to treat the body than our mental stuff :)
