Hi everyone. :) I'm new to this Forum and this is my first post. My extreme body pain and numbness has lead me to ask if this is related to my Anxiety and hopefully someone can help.
I've had Anxiety for the past 3 years or so. My Anxiety has been fairly mild, only occurring in crowded stores or times of extreme stress. About 2 weeks ago, my Anxiety took a toll for the worse, including a full blown panic attack at work. Since then I feel more relaxed, but I am still experiencing dizziness and extreme fatigue. For the past few weeks, I have had severe pain in my legs (mostly my knees and bottom legs and feet//ankles) and back. I hoped it would get better but has only gotten worse. Today has been the worst of all. My lower back is killing me, and the pain radiates down my spine, bottom and is felt heavily in my lower legs. My legs also feel weak as can be, it feels like I am going to collapse with intense numbness and weakness. I work as a Chef and I lift heavy things and I am wondering if I hurt myself. I am going to the Doctor soon but I also wonder if this can be due to my Anxiety and wonder if anyone experiences extreme muscle pain and weakness/numbness along with theirs. Thank you guys.
