Hi Anne! I have the stiff leggs (not painful, but stiff) but I also have the pain across my shoulders and at the top of my back. It has gotten steadly worse, but bareable most of the time. It just makes me cranky and tired most of the time. I had just decided it was part of the package. Good luck on finding a solution that works for you. I took pain pills for a while, but decided to tough it out and see how it goes. ma
