The last time I had one in my calves, that muscle was painful for almost a week afterward. Ibuprofen has usually worn off by the time of the night that I wake up like that.

Hot towels is an interesting idea. How did you heat them? One of those heated towel racks?

Definitely not using shapers.
I finally did end up getting a heated towel rack (one of the cheap ones) but before that, fresh out of the dryer they stay hot for awhile and warm for a looong time. On my knees I would dampen a hand towel and microwave it. It wouldn't stay hot for long but it would stay warm and the dampness was soothing.
