Anxiety at night along with pain in your back, shoulder and hands often comes from muscle tension and poor sleep. Since you're on thyroxine, it's worth asking your doctor to recheck your
thyroid levels. Both an under or over treated thyroid can cause this exact mix of body aches and anxiety.
Next Steps
Gentle stretching, warm compresses and a consistent sleep routine can ease the pain. Please see your physician for a
thyroid check and a general pain evaluation.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if the pain is only on one side, keeps you from sleeping at all, or comes with numbness or weakness in your hands.
