How Can Pain And Stiffness In The Legs Be Treated?

yes, perhaps you can help me. In the last 2 years the leg and back muscles that I use all the time have become much stiffer and sore after exercise. Stretching does not help. Massage (myofascial release ) works for a short time only . I have been taking amitriptylene 12,5 mrg and zopiclone 2,5 mgr for years for sleep disorder and mild fibromyalgia . Could these drugs make me feel worse? Thanks for your help. Danielle
