Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I came on here and now I'm back. I'm feeling awful at the moment due to my pain returning. First I started off having back pain and I thought it was the bed I was sleeping on when I was visiting my boyfriend and his family, so I was given a separate mattress. It helped a little bit but it still didn't alleviate my sleepiness.
Then today I woke up with not just back pain but pain in my legs. I cannot stand straight and I may need to use a cane we keep at my house (I'm 25 years old).
I have to return to work on Tuesday from being off for 2 weeks and I'm just feeling scared. I'm afraid I'll be in a lot of pain and my work doesn't take too kindly to fibromyalgia.

Can't say for certain what is causing your pain, but I would suggest moist heat and maybe some gentle stretching afterwards to see if that loosens up. I think it may be reasonable to do that at least for the next few days as these things take time to go away. Of course, if it gets worse you may want to call your doctor.
Good luck, gentle hugs,
Leo
