I'm almost 50 and Yes I am stiff for a while when rising in the morning or getting up from my chair. That I think is normal. As far as the cramping goes in your calves, you might look into how well you are supporting your feet. I get terrible calf strains the next day or 2 when I spend a day walking around the house doing chores barefoot.

Thanks, Jon, I appreciate your thoughts. I haven't changed the shoes I'm wearing lately and haven't done any different types of exercise or activities that should make my calves sore. It doesn't bother me too much, I was just curious because of some other problems I've been having including extreme fatigue, chest pain and electric shocks in my middle toe.
Have you had an evaluation for MS? an MRI of the Brain and Spinal Cord? Your symptoms might be MS. Its worth looking into
