Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this tightness that you have reported. Is there any pain? Is this the first time you are having such a symptom? If it is the first time and there is no pain, I will suggest that you stay calm, relaxed and observe only. In addition to this, moderate exercise involving these areas would be helpful.

Hello,
It is not the first time I have experienced these symptoms. I been having them for about a year (on and off). I have no pain. I am not on any medications. They scare me because it feels like I might not be able to move my muscles (this hasn't occurred). It's just very uncomfortable.
