Can Depression Cause Chronic Pain?

Can chronic pain come with depression? I think I'm a pretty healthy person, as far as physical conditions go. But, I've been feeling an immense amount of pain lately, and I figure it must have to do with my worsening depression. I can't explain my pain like I could with, say, a paper cut or a bruise. I can't quite place where this pain is, but it just hurts everywhere all at once, really intensely, without stopping regardless of day or time of day. So, I just wanted to ask, does depression sometimes lead to chronic pain? Has anyone experienced this? What can I do?
