Stiff legs 24-Jun-2010 At 10:41:05 AM bones

Probably a question better directed to a doctor or physio, but while I'm here....

Over the last year or so I've been getting increasingly stiff legs. I initially thought it was somehow climbing related, as it used to only manifest after a weekend at the crag followed by the long drive back to melbourne. I'd assumed it was something to do with exercise followed by the tense sitting position in the car.
Now it happens mostly at work (desk job), and doesn't seem to happen at the crag when I'm away for days at a time. Someone told me stress is stored in your legs, so now I'm superstitous that it's stress related.
Basically my muscles in my thigh feel tight/tense/stiff and cause a light hobble. It's not painful, just annoying.

Anyone had anything similar and know what it is or some exercises/stretches to get rid of it?

I'm also on the lookout for a new doctor, so if anyone knows an excellent one in Melbourne I'd be keen for details.

Thanks
