" Its not your bones getting tight, just your muscles. I know it may feel like your bones since it can hurt a lot. It really feels like it when people stare at you because you are either getting upset or you're trying to walk better or talk better in front of people. Its natural to do that because you get more tense. I have a hard time just relaxing at times myself and I seem to be ten times worse then I am. Its just the nature of the beast. Another way to deal with tightness overall is if you are able to is work out. Have a strenching excercise routine and work with weights. That way when you do get tight it won't feel as severe. A PT can help you set up a program if need be. I realize everyone isn't able to excercise, but if you are able then you should try anyway. Good luck. "
