Common Back Pain Problems
Is physical pain common with depression?
I’m having some family difficulties at the moment that are really getting me down. I think I have moderate depression. I feel very tired and I never want to get out of bed. I’m doing a course at college that I love, but these days I hardly even want to open the books. I have the blues I think. If I do, this will be my first time getting depression and I feel very, very low right now. However, I feel physical pain also. I’m getting aches and pains in my arms and back for no apparent reason. I don’t have back problems or anything. I’m just wondering if this is common with depression. Also, what should I do about this? Should I see someone, or will it wear off eventually on its own?
Thanks in advance.
Very, infact they are often linked in the way of chest pain and the fact that your muscles will “tense up” will make it very likely that you pull muscles or cause injurys.
Aches and pains are also common, for a variety of reasons, its a well known medical and psychriatric fact that if you are dealing with depression, its very common to experience additional physical symptoms.
If your worried, see your doctor, but generally, massage can help as can things like yoga and other stretching and relaxation techcniques. Its really worth looking into them. Medicines and creams can help, if for example muscles are pulled, but I would really advise dealing with the pain where it starts and practising relaxing your body and mind rather then just painting over the cracks with ointments and pills. I know relaxaion wont solve your depression, but it will help you carrying it in your body which is a huge reason as to why you feel more physical pains when you are depressed.
Any chest pain, you know you have to see a doctor. If the pain in your arm is like cramp, see your doctor, it could be heart related and even though its not likely, its best to get it checked out!
