Can tension cause muscle pain?

I went to a specialist at Apollo for chronic back pain, and he explained that anxiety causes subconscious muscle clenching. However, he also ran tests to rule out vitamin deficiencies. I suggest you consult a proper doctor to get a clear diagnosis rather than assuming it's just stress.

It is very common for mental tension to sit in our body as physical pain. Please try to take some deep breaths and rest. I hope you feel better and get some relief soon.

Haha, yes! Every time my boss sends a 'can we talk?' message, my entire back turns into solid cement. Stress literally lives in our muscles. Try some hot tea and a warm bath, your shoulders will finally remember how to relax!

Yes, mental stress translates directly into physical tightness, especially in the neck and shoulders. If your doctor allows, doing some light stretching or taking a brisk 20-minute walk daily can help release those endorphins and loosen up your stiff muscles. Stay active!

Yes, absolutely. Whenever I am stressed about work, my shoulders get so tight they actually start hurting badly.
