Body pain from trauma :( anyone else?
Besides the mental symptoms I get from PTSD, it also hurts my body so much sometimes. I don't know how to explain it except my muscles will feel really weak and tender after bad days where I've had a strong emotional response to something or if I've had a trigger really badly, like it feels like I ran a 40k marathon except I didn't train and I pushed myself way too hard. Like I wake up and it's like I was lifting weights in my sleep.
I'm not looking for medical advice ! But I was wondering if anyone else experiences this and if so what things you do to help it?? Ill take baths in Epson salts/ magnesium and try to stretch out my body a bit, but I don't know what else I can do. It sucks because sometimes I'll get a little "lost day" from being triggered but then the next day I'll be feeling better mentally but because I'm physically so tired and sore I kinda lose that day too.
