Thanks Indy, the confusing part about all of this is, of course, the finding may have nothing at all to do with anything

I have been paying attention to the pain in my legs though, and I have noticed that if I walk at least 15 minutes before other activities that things go much better. Someone here recommended working fitness walks in my schedule at least once a week and I have already started on that. The interesting thing is just how many different parts of my legs twinge and complain in those first 10 minutes or so - guess that it just part of being an active 15 year old who was sedentary for much of her life. After that 15 minutes though, there isn't a complaint anywhere

I do wonder if I am putting too much weight on the hip abductor machine at the gym. It doesn't hurt when I do it, but will back off a little on that weight and see if I still wake up with that pain.
