I have wondered that...before all of this I was very active and would work out about 3 times a week. But since all this I have been so scared to make anything worse that I have definitely not been active like I used to be
I go for a four mile walk every day, even when i have leg aches and it never seems to get any worse. In fact my legs often feel better when i'm walking. This is another reason i think it's just caused by stress and anxiety.
I can sympathize with almost all your symptoms at one time or another ...check out my post under "good info for all" I am gradually regain my life God Bless
I feel like they are there all the time...but to different degrees. When I focus on them they definitely get worse. However, there have been a few times that I have been really focused on what I was doing or having fun and I realized afterwards that I didn't notice any of the symptoms at that time. Wish I could be back to my old self!! Is it possible to ever be who you once were after anxiety takes over your life like this??
I get very similar symptoms to some of yours, such as the achy legs and slight cramping in the calves. Sometimes my feet and hands will ache. My symptoms come and go and never seem to get above a certain level, although on the odd occasion it can feel quite bad, but not in an agonising sort of way. Some days i can be pain free, but then i usually get the spaced/dizzy type feeling in my head. It seems to be either one or the other with me, rarely both at the same time, thankfully.
Because they come and go i've just put it down to stress and anxiety. Do yours come and go or are they there all the time?
Stress and anxiety can cause debilitating pain for some people, even when they are'nt particularly feeling stressed or anxious.
