The stress caused muscles in my back to tense which caused my hip to
move out of place, which caused lots of pain. Last cruise, I had pain
and problems walking far enough to get on the boat. By the end of the
cruise, I could walk all over the islands. Yes, I was using the
exercise room and doing yoga. Yes, I was pretty relaxed. Got on the
plane to go home and the pain started back up. My massage therapist
suggested a chiropractor visit might be in order. Off I went. Yep -
hip had moved.
Moral of my story: Yes, stress can and does cause muscle pain, stomach
pain, chest pain, and other pains. BUT - while the stress caused the
pain, there may be a mechanical reason why the pain is there. I
wouldn't choose one method of pain relief to the exclusion of other
methods. It may be that your particular pain will require more than
one approach to resolve.
As for yoga - like chicken soup, it couldn't hurt. Just remember, yoga
isn't a competitive sport and if what you are doing hurts - STOP
IMMEDIATELY. You're either doing it wrong or it's the wrong pose for
you. As for meditation.... I can't imagine you could possible make a
situation worse by calming yourself and meditating.
Keep an open mind and don't write of medical help.

And on a mildly humorous note:
There was a Faith Healer from Deal
Who said: "although pain is not real
If I sit on a pin
And it punctures my skin
I dislike what I fancy I feel!

As a teenager, I took a few hatha yoga classes at the Integral Yoga
Institute in Dallas. It was mentally and physically relaxing. I still
practice the head stand almost daily, just before leaving the house for
work.
Heed Deborah's warning. A friend ruined his back with hatha yoga,
because his teacher tried to force him into certain poses.
