Does the guided body scan make my physical pain feel worse?

I use the body scan technique to relieve my muscle tension. However, when I focus intensely on each part of my body, it seems to make the pain and discomfort worse instead of helping me relax. My existing tension feels heightened. This added awareness only increases my overall stress. I want to know if this means my body is holding onto tension that I'm not ready to let go of, or if I'm doing the scan the wrong way. My name is Keshav, 20/2/1995, 3:20 AM.
