For example..you wake up in the middle of the nite with pain in..what feels like..all your joints? And it all started with pain in the back of your knee? Usually, this pain all over will then go away when you are up and around a bit..it feels somewhat like you may be getting the flu or something??

" Oh Yeah!
Moving around is usually the answer when this happens to me. I wake every morn feeling like this. All I can do is get moving and lossen up. But some days it goes into the later ours of the morning. Then I have to get warmer clothing, even in the heat, and stretch the muscles around the joints that hurt.

does that make it any better? "

" Occasionaly my right knee gets stiff and sore! But gets better when I exercise. And if it is really stiff before I go to bed I take a Ibuprofen and that helps me through the night and it's better the nex day! Same for when my neck gets stiff too! : ) "

" I try to stay loose but then my back hurts so much. I have one finger that hurts like the dickens and it is swollen and red. Well I try to take pills and keep moving. It is hard to do. I use an ice pack on my back. It helps a lot. Good luck to you. "
