Thank you for sharing this—it's great that you consulted an orthopedician to rule out physical causes. It’s also very insightful of you to notice that your neck and shoulder discomfort might be related to anxiety. In many cases, emotional stress can manifest as physical tension, especially in the neck and upper body. I’m a clinical psychologist, and I’d be glad to support you in understanding and managing the emotional side of what you’re experiencing. Therapy can help you: Address the root causes of anxiety and stress Learn techniques to calm both your mind and body Break the cycle of physical discomfort caused by emotional tension You’re not alone in this—and with the right support, both emotional and physical relief are possible. If you’d like to begin therapy or have any questions, I’m here to help.

Hi, It’s good that you’re paying attention to your body and your emotions. If both anxiety and posture are possible causes, taking the prescribed meds can help short term but for lasting relief, addressing the anxiety might really help. A psychologist can support you in understanding the mind-body connection better, so you feel more in control and at ease. It’s a gentle step that could make a big difference.

Hi! You’ve already done the right thing by seeing your doctor — that’s step one. 1. Take the medicine if the pain flares up, but don’t depend on it daily. 2. Watch your posture — neck pain loves bad sitting habits. Short screen breaks really help. 3. If worry is tightening those muscles, talking to a counsellor can ease both mind and neck.

Hi, Since the orthopedician has ruled out any physical issue with your neck and suggests that the pain may be related to posture or anxiety, it's important to follow their advice and use the prescribed painkillers and ointment to manage the pain. However, given that your pain might also be linked to anxiety, consulting a psychologist can be very helpful in addressing the underlying emotional stress and developing coping strategies. Combining medical treatment for physical symptoms with psychological support can provide a more comprehensive approach to your overall well-being. Always follow your doctor’s advice and consider seeking mental health support for better long-term relief.

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.
