It sounds like you are suffering from stiff person syndrome more common in females
could be caused by several causes
triggered by severe emotional stress
vitamin B12 deficiencies
autoimmune where anti bodies against nerve protein Amphiphysin formed or neural chemical Glutamic acid decarboxylase deficiency
it could be feature of lung or breast cancers

it is good to see your doctor to get investigated

muscle relaxants like baclofen
vitamin B12 and Bcomplex
calcium and Vitamin D
anti epileptic medicines
gabapentine
or IV immunoglobulins
or immune modulating drugs

all are helpful and should be prescribed by your doctor based on the cause of your symptoms.
