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.   Smile Take care and GOD bless..
