A member asked:
Back pain is a common symptom of anxiety but wha is it that causes it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tension: In my opinion this is most likely caused by the muscle tension that can be associated with anxiety. In this situation, a muscle relaxant may be an appropriate treatment option.
