Needs evaluation.: Although anxiety might be the cause, when one has neurologic symptoms, it's best to have a checkup with ones doctor to make sure it's not something more serious. Anxiety itself merits attention.

Anxiety: Anxiety is the great mimicker, it can cause all kinds of symptoms. Anxiety treatment is multimodal, meaning closely monitored medical treatment as well as counseling and behavioral therapy. Relaxation techniques can be of utmost value, try dawnbuse.Com for some relaxation techniques. Yoga may be valuable to you as breathing can stop anxiety problems.

Anxiety: Anxiety can certainly cause physical symptoms but you should check with your doctor as your one sided pain may be due to another yet undiagnosed medical issue; you are obvioulsy worried so taking action will probably reduce your anxiety. Best wishes.
