It's like there's something in there moving.

My muscles get weak fairly quickly and many times I feel like I ran a marathon when all I did was walk from the bedroom to the kitchen or something simple like that.
This is almost a word-for-word description of how I am affected, except it's usually my right leg. I take Baclofen now, which SEEMS to help some. Tight clothing and bedclothes trigger tightness and spasms, and YES to sitting on hard surfaces (car seat, piano bench). I tend to sit on the edge of a chair so the backs of my legs don't touch anything, which destroys my posture and causes other pain. I also can't have anything on my lap, such as the cat. Boo, hiss.
