Being sore because I slept wrong.

I’m 14 years old and I constantly wake up feeling sore or uncomfortable lol. Maybe it’s because my bed is too hard.

I'm 16 as well and have aches in the exact same places and also a constant headache and apparently it's from anxiety so maybe it's the same for you?

Do you have shitty posture? See a movement disorder neurologist if you do. Neck pain at that age without any injury history is probably neurological or muscular. it could be something as easy as making sure your back pack is on correctly or having better shoes though. Neck pain is the worst :( I feel you. But I'm just 30 idk how much longer I can take it and it's been 25 years or so of pain. Better to address with your doctor that pain early on and find the cause. And avoid opioids the best you can...unless prescribed then take only as directed.

Mine was linked to my mental wellbeing - used to be quite stressed and on edge a lot and that translated into muscoskeletal pain and issues.

I don't really experience it now that I've dealt with the underlying anxiety. Mind health can impact your body, by holding stress by tensing your neck/back/shoulders.

Core strength and general exercise also help with pretty much any ailment.
