Worried About Achy Legs, I Drink Less Water
I have been an Anxiety sufferer for 3 years. And I worry over every little ache and pain. This week I am worried about my legs and blood clots. I am very prone to getting achy legs right before my monthly and I never drink water. Usually coke or tea. So there is all kinds of things it could be but I always zone in on the worst possible thing. Both legs are achy. I have no tender spots, nothing swollen, no warmth. No pain when I move them or walk. So Im just curious as to what it could be so I could put my mind at ease.

Hi, if u r an anxiety sufferer, as u r admitting, in addition to following the diet and fluid recommendations already given to you, this can also be a manifestation of premenstrual dysphoric disorder or an exaggeration of anxiety disorder before mens. Because hormonal changes before mens do have relationship with psychological health (anxiety and depression). If, such is the case u need optimise the treatment for anxiety disorder. Byee..
