Whenever I exercise my legs more than normal, my muscles are sore, mostly painful. I have a bad knee which hurts the most. And then I suffer extreme fatigue for a few days. So, exercise is a trap. Warm - hot bath soaks are my go-to for relief and the heating pad. Try hot soaks with epsom salts and heating pad. Knots can be relieved and cured with regular massage, but that is expensive.

I get the knots all the time. My massage therapist puts hot rocks on them to get the tension in them to release so she can massage them away. From that I would assume any moist heat would be helpful. They are very painful at times. I think the knots in my shoulders and back are permanent fixtures. Gentle stretches help me to work out the pain. Also doing some mild exercise helps. For my legs I usually walk not pushing to go fast.

Could it be your muscles are in knots , from tension ? just a thought ! but once again i say ask your DR , i am sure all is well ! but be checked just make sure ! Some times when we have so many things wrong with us we get worried about anything else that shows up on are body ! i to am guilty of that myself ! For i hope and pray all is well with you ! i will be praying for you !sending LOVE peace,joy and peace of mind always michele !

Magnesium does help me and I also take vitamin d since I have a deficiency. It seems a lot of hospital workers have low vitamin D. So the two together and good old pain meds. I also rub the knots out with my knuckles well I hold pressure on them till they release. It hurts like heck but it's better after. I live with my heating pad on my neck and legs at bedtime. Seems that any where I hurt responds to heat. I can't stand cold

Sorry hun! I have this type of pain and knots in my arms especially, left arm! Hurts really bad!
