I have this most of the time to varying degrees. I don't take anything other than Neurontin.

Most of the time I just grin and bear it and do my best to ignore it. I move around a lot during the day just to keep it at bay. I also makes sure I stretch every morning and night. I swear by my Epsom salt baths when things get bad. It really helps to relax the muscles. You can also use Epsom salt compresses if getting in to the tub is difficult. On really, really bad days - like my leg is locked up - I will break down and take a little bit of valium.

I really feel for you and hope you can find something that helps you. I am not a big meds person and am sensitive to them so I do the absolute minimal meds.
