Anxiety causing this?

I don't know if this is in the right forum, and I did get some replies in the heart section, but I was wondering if anyone here had any input.

Okay, i've had problems with my left foot and leg for some years now. I have a bunion on my foot and my leg is messed up. I used to get numbness in my foot. Sometimes my knee would make a clicking sound when I walked, and I'd have pain in my leg.

Lately, I've been severly stressed out. I'd wake up in panic attacks everyday, for about a month now. I've had bad anxiety, but this is extreme.

So, I noticed my left leg hurting. But it felt more like a burning inside. When I'd get more stressed out, it'd feel worse.

Then when things got better, it went away for like a week. But when I got stresed out again, it came back, and now I think my leg is a little swollen too.

It feels like something is hitting a nerve or something. It hurts in my foot, calf, and thigh now. There is no discoloration or anything. But I feel a pulsating feel throughout my leg, on and off.

I was just wondering if this sound like a blood clot? I'm scared that it's going to travel up to my lungs. Can stress cause a blood clot?

Thanks for listening.

It sounds like sciatica. I have that on both sides and sometimes it feels like a shock going down to my foot and some times sharp pains or just a dull ache.

Hi Birdbreath...

The symptoms you describe don't really sound like the symptoms of a blood clot.....

Re: Anxiety causing this?

i'v been having problems with anxiety as well. i have an eye condition that seems to be unexplainable. i went to a phsycologist yesterday and he told me that he had once had a patient that had temporarily gone blind due to depression and anxiety and another who couoldn't walk temporarily because she was so anxious. so yes it is definatly possible for physical things to happen to you as a result of anxiety. good luck soldier

Re: Anxiety causing this?

Hi: I'm going to sort of echo jennym on this one. I have sciatic pain from a number of back problems. It doesn't always have to be the back, though. It could be a pinched nerve in some part of that side of your body. I wouldn't be surprised that anxiety is playing a part here too. You kind of get into this vicious cycle of worrying and hurting more. It's pretty common for anxiety to add to existing pain.I would suggest you see your family physician and maybe ask if you could be referred to a neurologist. It really seems to be nerve related.Hope this helps a little. cmpgirl
