Muscle Stiffness during eating
I'm having horrible stiffness in my neck and hands.. It spreads to my legs and head as well.. I get random pains.. This occurs when I'm eating and drinking water.. I can't eat at a normal pace anymore.. I can take a bit at once and then only after half and hour or so... The stiffness starts at my neck and then to head and hands and sometimes the legs.. Today, I noticed a swelling on my left leg too.. It's hard to eat and drink now.. I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety as well..
My routine had slowed in January from 3 meals to 2 meals to 1 meal to none some days.. My sleep cycle had changed (all this was due to some personal afflictions) ..
I have been through a lot of personal trauma during the past few months up until now..
The current muscle stiffness is making my life miserable.. I have also noticed my legs jumping involuntarily when I'm sleeping or resting. I have visited all the doctors from general physician to neurologist and all my physical reports came normal.

You’re facing stiffness and pain while eating, with involuntary leg movements and past trauma.
All tests are normal, which could be a possible functional or stress-related neuromuscular issue, which can be further worsened by malnutrition and anxiety.
Better to consult a psychiatrist and neurologist along with proper nutritional plan might help
