Yes, mine feels like muscle spasams and muscle cramps all over my body (one huge one). In the am when I get up I am so stiff my feet hurt to walk. Then as the day goes on I feel even more stiff. I thought it was due to the pain and stress I am having. Maybe not. Could be added fibro symptoms.

I have that, the very first time it was my right hand. Scared me to death, thats when I started going through all the test.

You bet!!
If I do not take Muscle relaxers. I crimp up so bad and its not just my shoulders? Its everything. Then comes the spasms and numbness in areas. I panic when I know I am low on them cause yes I still have pain but its much worse if my Muscles are not controlled.

I do have my Soma so I thank god for that but it just surprised me laying down to rest and it hit me how stiff I held my body!!

yes.. my muscles are so bad. more in the shoulders and neck and upper back.. and rls.. even my feet hurt.. feels like i have a brick sitting on my shoulders.. its so frustrating.. i also have to try and use a mental pic to try and get them to relax.. i to have much lack of sleep.. my doc is very concerned when i went in on tues. he said you look exhausted.. and i said yup.. told him its my lower back.. no matter what pill i take it wakes me up after 2 to 3 hrs of sleep.. he said you need to sleep.. ahhhh dahhh i know that.. lots of ppl have insomnia.. and not just us fibro ppl.. lots of stress out there in the world .. i hear ya hun.:)

I take hot baths or showers. That helps me some. I use a heating pad too. What helps me may not help you. It's worth a try.
I hope you get some relief soon.

I get a lot of muscle pain in my back, neck, shoulders and arms. When I go to bed at night, I have to prop my arms up so that they will stop hurting. I get really stiff at times too. I know that when I get really stressed about something I can feel my muscles tightening up real bad. I try to remember a relaxation technique that I learned years ago when I took Lamaze classes to get everything to relax if possible. It's a combination of relaxing the muscles and breathing a little deeper at the same time. If I can get my mind to stop jumping around enough to concentrate on relaxing that is.

Yes, I get that way. Mostly from shoulders to bacl ad legs. I probably look like my pants are full when I walk with the stiff legs!

Hope your body loosens up. Youjust never know each day what new stupid symptom will rear it's ugly head. Hugs to you, sweetie. sue
