[tricia56]

hi this may sound stupid but i feel a freak as when i sit down no matter ware i am or even sitting a having my dinner i cant stop my legs from crossing and they stay strait and i stiffen them up i know im doing it but i cant seem to sit with them relaxed aand it is getting me down so much as i feel a freeak so i dont go out to anyware where i know i will have to sit down can any one tell me if there is something i can do to stop it.

im exactly the same,even on a bus my legs are crossed when i go to bed my legs are crossed at the ankles,my theory is that once your body learns to relax again the habit will slowly break.hope this helps.
