What cause leg tightness for 8 months.. off and on waking alleviate symptoms none at rest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many times this tightness, especially if it occurs when standing a lot, is from congestion from weak valves in veins within the calf.even if no obvious varicose veins are present. Support hose would relieve this venous congestion. Another possibility would be very tight calf muscles that need to be stretched. See your MD for evaluation.
