Stiff muscles

I was just wondering if anyone else experienced extremely stiff muscles. Lately I feel like my body is a brick. It hurts to bend over, it hurts to lift my daughter. Its like I'm lazy, but not by choice, if that makes any sense? I can tell my husband is getting mad at me, but I feel like I just can't move. Does anyone want to talk about this with me?

Oh, I feel bad for you. My body still hasn't gained 75% of my former self. Today, dyeing my long hair plum tuckered me. I'm actually sore.
I hope it gets better for you soon.

Yes, I too have body aches and pains. However, I associated these pains with my diagnosis of fibromyalgia.

Above is a link that you can screen yourself for Fibromyalgia.

I was unaware that I suffered from it, until my joints hurt so badly, and I would make up in the morning ready to take a nap. I suffer from chronic fatigue as well. I have to take some type of anti-inflammatory medication daily.

Most medical doctors dont believe that this illness exists. You will have to seek out an herbalist if you are diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

My back is so stif and hurts. I feel 80. I had test for arthritis but they said it is VERY little and it was only at the tip of the vertebra. It was much less than for any woman at my age. She also said that she had not seen a back as straight as mine. The muscles were so tight that they were all pulling and held me ridgid. Well with muscle relaxers and stretching it make it some better but it is still painful.

Yes. I too have felt stiff joint and muscles. Especially when I wake up in the morning. Sometimes its lasts an hour after I have started moving around. My stiffness is usually in my back, my legs and my shoulders. I am a dancer, however, this stiffness is different from the rest. I don't really know what else it could be. Is it related to endo you think?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
