    Do you also sometimes get restless legs? I get it mostly at night but it can sometimes happen in the day. I get this weird tingly feeling in my thighs and behind the knee.

      I get tingles in my arms once in awhile but only when I'm sleeping.

    Tin man  lol  that's the best ever!    

    I have a magnesium oil spray beside the bed and a few squirts before sleep on the joints really helps.

      you can get magnesium spray in health food shops.  I don't think I can put up the brand name on this forum though but they are available in health food shops.  putting it on at night helps me, on shoulders and neck a few sprays each side and on knees.    just can't believe how quickly this 'tin man' stiffness took hold.  wasn't gradual, damn this menopause mad
