Oh  Angie...first I must really care about you, because i just lost everything i typed and am going to do it again.  Restless Leg Syndrome...Jaw Pain, Your Parotid  Gland.   In a pinch Advil and a hot bath...the hot bath was my onl recourse most days,,,i fill the tub and sink down all the way till the water  runs into my ears.  With the jaw you can also have what is called deferred pain, which means it comes from somewhere else but the nerves kinda get confused and are not giving you an accurate location.. good luck and see a doctor soon.                                                                                                  ~sass~

Hi Angie. I am so sorry for your bad night.  I hope it is okay to ask here "with" your question about the nodes?  I find all of these lumpy muscle feelings around my ribs or where I rub on certain achy parts of my body. Are these my nodes as well? 
I hope you feel better soon. I am new here so I am sorry I don't have a lot to offer, but I do care.

Valeen thinking back yes I have had electric legs since my teens and yanno I think it's when I'm overly tired.

The problem I'm most concerned with is this jaw, the pain stays around a 4 to a 7 depending on where I'm at with the pain meds. My husband said he sees swelling But it's nothing like some pics I've seen on the net.
