anxiety/back pain

Lately i've been having sharp pains in my lower back and it radiates down to my right hip. my right calf muscle lately has also been feeling weird. occasionally it'll switch to my left side, but mostly my right. I'm a hair stylist an sometimes put my weight on my right leg while at work and am on my feet constantly. I've also been having alot of anxiety lately too, dont know if they're connected. I'm always scared of blood clots and other things because of my anxiety i always think its something bad happening. Does anyone know what i can do for my back to help it? I quit taking my bc about 2 weeks ago and i'm sure it's not a blood clot, no symptoms of one.

It sounds like  you have a nerve in your back being pressed on. It wont matter what leg you stand on but you need to experiment with different positions to see if it lessens the pain.    You can also go to the doctor and get meds that help with nerve pain.  But dont go to narcotics, there is a whole community of people in here desparate to get off them and its horrible.
