I spent 10 years battling anxiety. Went away when I had a lumbar fusion. Surprise!
My best guess is my pinched nerve caused the sensation which I then experienced emotionally. Exactly no one any where suggested the possibility of a physical cause to an emotional state.
Scientific progress is not a straight line. More like bumps in the dark.
- DangitBobby 6y agoI definitely think that my back pain effects me emotionally and saps my happiness. I'm way grumpier than I ever used to be. (I also wonder if chronic inflammation causes an autoimmune-like response which is resulting in other new conditions like heartburn). I think the body plays a much larger role in our emotional and mental states than we give it credit for.
