Improbable: The description of your symptoms does not sound to me like something that would be commonly found to be due to anxiety. First of all the duration of the symptoms is way too long. I would continue to pursue other avenues. If necessary get a second opinion at the university teaching hospital. Checking for spinal pathology would be reasonable and you also don't mention having had an ultrasound of your legs either. It would be premature to conclude that this is due to anxiety. Bestwishes.

Do blood clots in the leg almost always cause redness and swelling? Can I assume I dont have one if my leg looks normal?

Cramping in left calf. No meds to cause a blood clot, mirena IUD, no swelling,redness or tenderness, no pain with flexing foot, but some pretty tight cramps. Laid around a lot the last 3 days but tried to rotate ankles & stretch legs in bed often?
