Have Anxiety Disorder. Painful Body, Low Back And Arms Stiff And Achy. Stopped Taking Calcium Supplements. What To Do?

I ve had a generalised anxiety disorder for nearly a year with a multitude of symptoms. I now seem to be recovering, sleeping better and more positive. However the pain and stiffness throughout my body has worsened and my low back and arms are stiff and achey. The pain also seems to flow throughout my body from fingers to toes. I have recently had to stop calcium supplements so it may also be related to this. I have been taking calcium and D3 for many years for osteoporosis . I just wondered of all this was to be expected as I recover?

THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION.

NO THOSE ARE NOT SIGN OF RECOVERY.

THEY ARE NEITHER SIDE EFFECT OF ANY PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION.

IT MAY BE DUE TO DEVELOPMENT OF MILD TO MODERATE DEPRESSION CALLED ANXIODEPRESSIVE DISORDER.IT COULD MIGHT BE MILD SOMATISATION SO YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR PSYCHIATRIST FIRST TO TAKE HER SUGGESTION.

BUT GREATER CHANCE OF THOSE BODY PAIN ARE ORTHOPAEDICS-INCREASE URIC ACID,RA,ASO TITRE,LUMBER SPONDYLITIS,PROLAPSE INTERVERTIBRAL DISC,SEVER OSTEOPOROSIS SO FOR THAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER ORTHOPEDICS.

THANK YOU,
