Well for me I have such tight calves and a feeling of a tight rubber band around my ankle where my condition is started. I often get stiff cause from the pain I keep my limb very still. I have been told by my doctors that it is part of the neuropathy or for me rsd we don't know. The treatments like meds etc that work for the condition are supposed to help. I wish I had mroe answers just thoughts I guess. Hang in there
