Many complex trauma survivors, who have experienced ongoing abuse, develop body hyper-vigilance. This is where the body is continually tensed, as though the body is “braced” for potential trauma. This leads to pain issues as the muscles are being overworked. Chronic pain and other issues related such as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia can result.

This is what I experience and it can get SO PAINFUL that it immobilizes me to laying on my sofa trying to use the TV to distract me and hoping that laying and resting will reduce how painful it is for me. When I have too many days in a row I give in and take a Klonopin as that will significantly reduce the pain however it's a depressant so I have to be careful as it can increase my feeling depressed.
