There are times when my legs, one or the other will go into a spasm which is so painful I have trouble standing on it. I can only compare it to a petrified log as it becomes hard to the touch. It usually happens when waking and stretching or when my feet get cold. My mother suffered with the same problem and it was never diagnosed. I have quit going to swimming exercise because of this problem. It usually takes 5 to 10 min before it calms down but up to that time the pain is excrutiating.
