Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Pain all over the body without fever or any other significant physical finding and normal blood investigations requires evaluation by a psychiatrist. Stress can cause such problem by some psychological as well as neurochemical changes. It may be one of the somatoform disorders or may be some other psychiatric condition like depression or anxiety.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
