    Omg in so glad you write this post, i found I have had a swollen gland for about 4 months at least now and then I started getting bone aches too! Nobody could seem to relate from an anxiety point of view!

    Anyway I monitored my bones aches and found that I either had them randomly or when i felt anxiety!

    Have you got a swollen gland?

    I'm ferried of bone cancer or leukaemia

    Jake, go to your GP and get these 'aches' checked out. If there is nothing physically wrong with you (and I doubt that there is) then you know it is anxiety. Anxiety can cause all kinds of weird and wonderful horrible effects in our bodies but none of them are harmful.
