Thank you for reaching out. It’s good that you consulted an orthopedician to rule out any physical concerns. What you’re describing pain without a clear medical cause, especially linked to posture or screen time can indeed be exacerbated by anxiety. Our emotional and psychological states often influence how we experience physical symptoms. Since you mentioned resonating with the idea that anxiety could be contributing to your discomfort, it would be helpful to consult a psychologist to explore this further. Therapy can support you in identifying anxiety triggers and learning coping strategies that reduce both mental and physical tension.
Next Steps
While it is okay to follow your doctor’s advice and take the prescribed medication short-term for relief, I recommend booking a session with a licensed psychologist to explore the underlying anxiety and learn strategies to manage it effectively.
Health Tips
Try reducing screen time, maintaining a good sitting posture, staying hydrated, and practicing daily relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness.
