Are these real aches and pains or is it all in my head?
From a young age, I've had the uncontrollable habit of cracking my knuckles, stretching, itching, or putting pressure on certain sore areas of my body (neck, shoulders, quads).
Especially when I focus on it, or when I try and resist the urge gets stronger. Its really hard to fall asleep due to this constant feeling of uncomfortableness and the need to stretch tight or sore areas. At movies, I can barely sit still and am constantly itching or stretching as well.
I cannot tell if these itches/aches are all in my head? Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this or how to deal with it?

It could be anxiety, among other things. I'm not your doctor or psychologist... try seeing both and tell them what you told us.
