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,

Hi Everyone, My problem is that my arms and legs go to sleep a lot, Does anyone

Hi

The pins and needles or feeling your arms and legs are going to sleep

could be a sign of peripheral neuropathy from the inflammatory process

or some other process. I have it in my arms and legs when I lie down as

the blood flow changes and it pools around the extremities. When you

get up your blood flow changes so the feeling subsides for the most

part.

The neuropathy can be caused from a few things so I don’t know what else

to say

Mine is from inflammation pressing on the nerves. I am not diabetic so

it is not neuropathy from that process

http://www.aegis.com/topics/oi/oi-neuropathy.html might help you a bit

more than I can

Hope this helps

Sincerely

What I seem to get is, upon waking, my fingers feel stiff and cold! Not

until I start to get up and going, this condition goes away. Not sure

if this is part of my fibro. We bought a pillowtop mattress, and it has

helped a lot but I still need to sleep with lots of pillows to feel

comfortable! Char

This seems to be what I have been feeling and it well could be blood flow

changes as when I finally get up, that feeling eventually goes away. Thanks!
