Anxiety can worsen the pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The kind of pain that you are describing appears to be that of musculoskeletal. And the distribution of the pain further suggests that the pain is arising from the vertebra. There is a problem in the nerve roots passing between the vertebral bodies most probably either cervical or thoracic vetebra. You will need to undergo a MRI scan of the whole spine to identify any abnormal compression.
Your posture at work or sedentary lifestyle causes this problem.
Coming to the issue of anxiety, yes, anxiety does cause worsening of pain but it will not originate the pain. Biofeedback therapy is a a therapy which can reduce your pain along with the meds but essentially the cause needs to be treated.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

Hello
Thanks for your follow-up question.
Therapeutic massage and alignment will help.
You should go ahead with it. But if it still doesn't help then you should go ahead with an MRI.
Hope that answers your concerns,
