More than stress?: True visual hallucinations usually comes about when there is more than just stress or anxiety.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

The opposite is true: If I'm understanding your question correctly you want to know if RELIEF from anxiety can result in body soreness/tenderness.  Actually, it would be more likely to be the opposite.  Anxiety of a constant or prolonged nature heightens sensitivity of the NOCICEPTIVE receptors in the skin and muscles (pain receptors) and tend to increase painful sensations. Relaxation should reduce pain sensitivity.
