    Muscle tension in limbs...

    Can muscle tension due to anxiety be evident in your limbs?? I have heard a lot about it affecting your neck, chest, shoulders, etc. but has anyone ever felt perceived weakness or tension in your arm or leg?
    It all started last summer. Had this tired and sometimes burning like feeling in my right arm. It would go from my bicep sometimes to my forearm, to shoulders, etc. I went to a walk in clinic and physio. They both did some strength tests, I passed them all and felt like it was a pinched nerve. Told me to do some exercises and it should get better. Eventually for a bit of time this went away. Then for like a month I experienced some tingling in my right foot. This lasted a month or so and has since gone away. Now the tired burning feeling is back in my right arm, and I have this tired kind of feeling in my right thigh as well. I does not stop my from doing anything I need to do, but it just feels like its there. I do admit I have been more stressed than usual lately (work, new home, bills, etc)
    Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any suggestions?

    I should also add that for years I had these headaches that would last months at a time. I went for an MRI about 15 months ago and everything was clear. The headaches magically went away after that.... haha

    Yeah I get it all over. Mostly between the shoulder blades, but also very apparent in my lower back, hamstrings and calf muscles.
