And it relieves anxiety that is partly caused from all that boyish energy building up inside with no outlet. Do they have you on a vitamin regime yet? Magnesium helps with spasms, Vitamin C with pain, etc. Also, lots of stretching and massage may help with the spasms. It can take a couple months for the vitamins to start making a difference, but they do help. And no, you're not crazy. Not everyone has the same symptoms. For my son, the color changes only appear when he's cold or is dangling his foot. Other times it looks normal.
