10yr old trouble getting to sleep

My ten year old daughter has recently developed a real problem when it comes to bedtime. She appears to be consumed with anxiety. She is anxious about her health says she got pains in her arms and legs, but is fine through the day. She cries for no reason and just says she's worried. She is well adjusted in every other way, no changes in her home or school life, I have tried patient and understanding, tried tough love nothing working at my wits end. Any advice would be gratefully received.

I remember getting pains in my arma and legs when I was 10-12 yo.
I have no idea what it was and now when my kids say they are in pain I believe them.
When my dd was complaining of pains Iwould sit on the bed before she fell asleep and gently massaged/stroked her legs and feet. This always worked - both my kids love me massaging their feet
