Thank you, Chris @artscaping and John @johnbishop for your thoughts. I just read up on restless leg syndrome and I don't have any urge to move my leg, and moving makes no difference in the pains. This is an all-of-the-time problem, not just at nighttime. Also, my understanding is that Gabapentin works well for many people with restless leg syndrome, and it did nothing for me. Thus, I don't think that is my problem. Chris, when you say your leg is "harmless" I'm not sure what that means. Are you currently pain free because of the therapy? The massage therapy sounds interesting and I think I will pursue that for possible relief. It certainly won't hurt to try and, if it works, I will be a happy camper! Thank you both; I sincerely appreciate getting your suggestions.
