I know this is a strange post. I've googled about this and no one seems to experience it. I know that hot water is supposed to relax tight muscles but when I take a hot bath my calf muscles are very tight afterwards. I have a bath pillow and I take a 10 minute soak or so every night and when I get out my legs (mainly calf muscles are extremely tight) It feels weird just walking. Almost, like they are swollen, but they aren't. I usually just go and lie on the bed for a few minutes and they get better. Sometimes after I sit at my vanity and put on makeup, do hair, etc. - then stand up they are also tight. Not as bad as after a hot bath. It's so weird. I know I have tightness in my low back and wonder if that has something to do with it.

Can anybody relate?
