Re: muscle twitching in legs

[Guest guest]

I have this problem as well and it happens mostly a night when I am

in bed but I sleep on my side and i get it in my arms and legs. I

don't know if it is related to fibro or my diet??

I have muscle spasms when I lay down. It isn't confined to one area. Lucky

me. I don't take anything for it. It is just annoying. I also have restless

leg syndrome. Well, I hope they decrease. Take care everyone!!

I get that quite a lot... The muscles twitch so hard that I can

watch them moving. I take either Baclofen, Skelaxin, or Zanflex to

help control that, depending on what my doctor's in the mood to

prescribe.

In addition to the muscle spasms, I have constant pain in my calves.

It feels like I've overdone it exercising... but I know that's not

the case. I have had this pain for over 4 years now and it never

stops, not even for a day. If I'm sitting in a chair and raise my leg

(straightening it) level with my thigh, it hurts all the way up the

back of my leg into my buttocks. I've tried gentle stretching

exercises, but nothing relieves the pain and my doctor doesn't know

what else to do for it. Am I alone in this one?

Mareth,

Your name is beautiful, BTW.

That's how my calves feel! And it makes no difference how I stretch

or how active I've been.

You know I think my doctor's going to add this to my mystery symptom

list. Honestly, I tell my doctors everything, but I can understand

why they think I'm a hypochondriac! This disease is so baffling.

thanks for your response.

Mareth,

You're not alone in this one. My leg muscles hurt all the time too.

And I know it's not exercise, since I get a different kind of ache

from exercise, sort of a good ache. I do many yoga strecthes, and

I've found that the worse my flare is, the harder it is to stay

flexible. Every day it's like starting over again, when before, my

stretching had longer lasting effects. That pain going all the way up

my leg sometimes feels like a pinched muscle in the hip, but that

wouldn't account for the constant muscle ache in the calf and thigh,

would it? Not to mention I have the same achiness going on in my

back, and in my arms. Is the achiness really nothing more than our

muscles not repairing because we're not getting the stage 4 sleep?

I'm so sore today, I wish nothing more than for the doctors to figure

this out, and fix me. I can't stand another day like this!

Take care,
