I had a thought about my situation.
I have stored much of my stress in my body by tightening up -- like fright, flight, freeze. Highly sympathetic nervous system vs parasympathetic. Is is possible my nerves are compressed and irritated - particularly in my outer calves? I am releasing lots of old trauma and pain and am loosening up my body. |

Not sure if the stress can physically cause the nerves to be compressed and irritated. But I know for sure that letting go of that stress and relaxing the muscles is always a good thing.
When I'm having a bad time, I put on the headphones for about a half hour with "sounds of nature" playing (rain, ocean waves, waterfalls, birds, etc.). I go into a kind of meditation, picturing the muscles relaxing and the nerves healing themselves. I doubt that any nerve healing is actually taking place, but when I'm done I do feel quite relaxed - almost like after a good massage. |

Magnesium will reduce muscle tension quickly... you can do epsom salts in the bath, or the Morton's lotion (a quarter's dollop daily).
This is a pretty good article I found last night while on my phone....it explains the clinical presentations of low magnesium clearly. This is often hard to find on internet sites. http://www.activebeat.com/diet-nutri...um-deficiency/ If you are already doing oral, there may be reasons why it is not getting to your targets. Altered circulation will block magnesium in some tissues.
