Anyone else have problems with stiff muscles tissue?

Okay, this might be a weird one, but I just gotta ask.  I just came back from having an hour-long deep tissue massage.  I try and get these on a regular basis.  I went without one for almost 2 months, then had a 2-hour one last week.  I go in today and am told by the massage therapist that I have the muscle strain of someone who does a lot of training or rowing.  Which I don't do at all!!!  My normal life consists of working over 40 hrs a week in a cubicle in front of a computer, attached to my "leash" (call center tech support), then go home and be a couch potatoe (I know, I know, I need to exercise!).  Now, this could all be related to my posture while I'm at work, but a part of me is also wondering if this may be related to my KD.  Back when my creatinine was 1.6, my neph told me that I had the creatinine of Arnold Schwarzenegger (and I am a tall, slender woman who was in her 20's at the time!).  I also have been told to not do weight lifiting because of my KD, in relation to my creatinine levels.  My creatinine right now is 2.0.  I also do have a minor case of scoliosis, so I know that contributes to my issues, as well.  It probably doesn't help that I also have reynaud's syndrome (good lord, I'm a mess!)  I have been getting massages on and off since 2001.  They are not a luxury anymore to me, they are now a neccesity.  If I go too long without one, my muscles get all knotty (lol!) and I feel all stiff and sore.  So, does anyone else have this same problem?  Of all the medical problems I've had, I enjoy the treatment for this one the most (who wouldn't?)!  I probably should look into seeing if I can my insurance to pay for some of these!

I'm so sorry.  My sister has muscles like leather...she had nephritis starting at about age 8, and sarcoidosis was diagnosed several years ago...about 20 years and about 5 years ago she had to have some kind of shots in her back and shoulders because her muscles seemed to freeze up.  The Drs did say that was due to the Sarcoidosis which had affected her liver more than anytrhing.  She is doing much better the last couple of years but is a health nut...sometimes I think over the top..but that's a sister thing   
I hope they figure out what is wrong.

My back muscles are usually sore. I don't know if it has to do with ESRD. Be an idea to research, though
