Oh no, poor GrippyGrind, that does hurt and it's so hard to get it to let go. It's a nightly ritual for me, I take zanaflex and have cart blanche on how much. I start with two at bedtime and might take another every half hour for two more hours before it lets go enough for me to sleep. Yes, it's very painful! My legs dance too! But only when I'm trying to sleep.

Squeezing my feet with warm hands helps a lot, also, I use a percussion massager on the sides and backs of my thighs but I don't have me a HandsomeHottie (so you should really pity ME!).
