Since Monday when I had a stress reaction at work my legs are killing me. They are so tight. I know from as long as 30 years ago that I hold my legs locked when that fear thing happens. I remember driving for 4 hours like that to my friend's so she could help me relax. She's dead now. My legs are killing me. I had a massage today that helped for that time. I am stretching and trying to tell the muscles to relax. My body has taken over. The pain is a 6.
