I have had this issue for many years and although I am older now (65), I have a PT now that suggested using a firm roller and some home exercises. Some of the exercises are relaxing and some are not, but they are helping to relax the muscles in my back, shoulders, and neck.....I also use heat on my calves nightly which has been helpful. No more nightly spasms making me jump out of bed in the night. Good luck on your journey finding relief. Some people use baths, but I don’t like them much, take care😊

I deal with muscles all over my body that hurt. I don't know if it's due to my CRPS - the stress of constant pain and the nerves being flooded by the windup from my brain. But my thighs, calves, arches, lower back, neck, and shoulders constantly feel like my body is in the aftermath of a grand mal seizure. The muscles are seizued up, tight, locked up, sore,
My body stays in this constant state of tension. It never loosens up, ever. My right arch and foot are in a state of constant and horrendous pain. It is constantly cramping and requires someone to rub it to loosen the cramp or I can breathe much less be able to walk. I use foot baths to relax my feet two to three times a week because I can't walk very far and exercising my foot is close to impossible. I love to soak in the bathtub, but getting out of it comfortably is almost impossible. It takes a lot of effort to climb out of it, too much almost to even try now.
