A member asked:
Can stress/anxiety be what is causing my leg pain. muscle pain,burning and crawling skin ?

Probably not: Stress on its own can cause a myriad of symptoms. Some of the symptoms you described sound like you may have a nerve issue. Most of the time the constellation of symptoms you have is due to an inflamed or irritated nerve in the lower back. A thorough evaluation by a physician would be justified at this time.
