Lumps of stress in legs, massage helps. What are they?

[epaphus]

Iam 23 years old male, weight 149lbs, 5'6

During many years I have been experiencing my legs as if they weight a little more and it makes me feel overall tired without much will to do a lot of physical activity. In my expierance I have related this problem get worse when Iam in periods of high stress.

The temporary cure that I found was to perform a deep massage over my legs.. the massagists that have done this have only told me its "normal stress" and that iam accumulating "small balls" generally about 4-6 that they massage directly and "remove". Iam older now and Iam sick of having to do this every once or twice a month.. In periods of a lot of stress once a week. I dont feel any kind of numbness on my legs ever, it doesnt hurt I just feel tired.. and I tend to sleep more untill the next massage. Once I get the massage I feel 100% new. These balls are not visible but you can feel them when you push tight. Into the area.

Please view this image for the area it affects

The technician from the ultrasound said it was femoral neuritis and that the lumps I felt was the product of the inflammation.

Can anybody tell me what the name of what i have really is? According to what I see the femoral nerve is on the other side of the leg and extents in a larger spot then the one Iam affected.

The lumps are hard.

Thank you!!!
