Thank you!!! This aching is making me crazy. I wish I could just pop my leg off like a barbie doll. Lol

My personal take on it is that it's spasticity. Of course, when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail, right? ;-)
But spasticity manifests as you describe - a weirdly tight muscle that causes pain whenever you try to move the limb. There are some ways of treating it without medication - stretching, heat, and massage. But all these are temporary fixes. I take 60 mg of Baclofen every day, and it helps most of the spasticity. Every once in a while I'll get a spasm, which I treat with Xanaflex or Flexaril.
