My leg stiffness and pain go hand in hand. I also have noticed an increase in
both if I am wearing jeans vs loose fitting sweats or a dress. It seems like if
my legs have to fight the clothing or even if they are "sensing" the clothing
it takes its toll. My legs wear out faster and my pain increases if I am
wearing pants against my skin. The last time I had stockings and a dress on I
was miserable as well. All I can figure is that its a constant conversation
between my skin and brain that gets waylaid by the cord...like sensory overload
or sensory confusion or something. Sometimes after a day my skin will feel
like a bad burn wherever the clothing is tight. Like cuffs on a shirt,
turtleneck, waistband, etc.
Maybe try wearing something loose fitting and see what that does for you.
Works for me....which in the TM world we know means very little. Everyone has
their own tricks it seems.

Massage twice a week would be great for us, if we can get it. But it must be
even better with HEAT to losing the muscles.
I have been riding a stationary bicycle, it didn't start helping until I went
from 3 times a week to EVERY DAY. I get more tired, but it is good for me.

Oh, yeah! Stiffness is due to muscle spasms. I have been going to a
massage therapist for over a year now, and she is really just getting some
of the knots to loosen with heat and massage. I have hopes that this will
help more and more. today she got my left lower leg looser than it has
been in five years, and she says there's more to go. It has sure been an
uphill battle, but there is always hope.
