Yes: Anxiety can absolutely increase the body's sensitivity to pain. When you mention leg restlessness, there is something called restless leg syndrome which you should ask your doctor about. In addition, it's also possible that some of your symptoms can be caused by a medication side effect. Most importantly, speak to your doctor to sort this through.
