Maybe.: Anxiety can cause all types of muscle aches and pains bu they are usually in the neck, back head but can also include the abdominal area, and yeas, ankles , wrists, shoulders when you are very tense. As you are 24 years old, it would be a good idea to get checked by your doctor to make sure that there is nothing physically wrong as well.
