Constant Leg Pain from Anxiety

I have been suffering from anxiety for six months now after being diagnosed with Ménière's disease.  During that time have had many symptoms that have come and gone but the one that keeps lingering even as my anxiety has lessened is achey legs and twitchy tight calf muscles.  This discomfort is almost constant and seems to be getting worst - although my increased worry about it could be playing a role in how I am perceiving the pain.  My question is, has anyone else had leg pain/discomfort that became almost constant and lingered for months?

I wish everyone on this site well as I know how challenging it is for many of us to make it through each day!

"Ar this point I've convinced myself that I have some sort of degenerative disease that is going to have me in a wheelchair in six months."
Further to my last post, have you discussed these issues and fears with doc?

I have been on and off both prednisone and a diuretic multiple times during this period.  
Started taking magnesium supplements about three weeks ago and last time my magnesium levels were checked they were fine.  Ar this point I've convinced myself that I have some sort of degenerative disease that is going to have me in a wheelchair in six months.

Are you on medication?  Many medications interfere with magnesium absorption, and can cause this kind of pain.  This wouldn't probably apply to vertigo medications, but it would to any meds affecting the brain's neurotransmitters.

Did doc say "achy legs and twitchy tight calf muscles" are symptoms or part of Meniere's? I mainly see in a google search vertigo, inner ear and some eye twitching with this condition. Have you discussed these issues with doc?
