Is it possible for anxiety/stress to cause pain in your muscles & joints?
I've been super anxietious for a while & I've notice my legs especially my knees lately have been bothering me. My back hurts as well. I was wondering if they could be related & what can I do about it
I am no expert, however I have suffered from anxiety for many years. It is very possible indeed for stress and or anxiety to cause anything on your body to hurt. I definately think you need to go and get a complete physical and bloodwork if not already done to rule out any medical possibilities, then if all clear seek a good pshyciatrist. There are good one and there are meds. that can help you live a good life. But just remember there will always be stress, it's all in the way you handle it. Some people just need a little help. 
Take care and GOD bless..
