Hey guys, newbie here, im here for some help. To make a long story short, whenever I get seriously stressed out I get a agonyzing pain in my shoulder and neck, which sometimes goes down to the fingers. I literally scream, ive taking all kinds of pain killers but nothing seems to work. My work health benefits will kick in soon so I will see a nueroligist to find out whats going on, I really need advice to find out whats wrong with me in the mean time.. :cry:

Try to breath slower. You can get pains like that from breathing heavily because of stress. Take deep breaths here and there and see if that helps. You could also be getting it because if an increased heart rate because you're so stressed. So just try to relax and take some deep breaths. Hope that helps and take care. :d

Got back from the nero this afternoon and she belived it is a muscle spasm not a nerve problem. She had given me some mobic pills for the pain and some effexor for anxiety, I took a hour long nap this afternoon with a heating pad on me an I feel better, not like I should though.

One of many anxiety symptoms is sholder and neck pain and spasms, so it sounds like that is exactly what it is. Once your anxiety meds kick in I bet it will help, when I get stressed I feel pain in my sholder also, so bet thats what it is. Hope you feel better

Hi, I had the same problem three years ago my left shoulder hurt so bad everydar off and on for about 9-10 months straight and sometimes raidiated down my whole arm. I went to so many doctors they found nothing except anxiety. Then it went away. Just get checked first it could be anything.
