OMG.............. Does anyone else deal with horriable stiffness? I woke up 3 days ago my neck and my left shoulder were so stiff I could barely move. And of course the pain of my skin i can't deal with a message. It's kinda better today but still hurts something awful. I was just wondering if anyone else deals with this? Thanks for you time.

I've had stiffness develop recently in my left ankle/foot. I try heating pad to help me and muscle relaxer, but the second didn't really do the trick. I'm sure someone else can give you good advice.

I am always stiff in the ankles and sometimes at the knees. Have had it for the past 6+ years, so I guess you get used to it. I know about the skin touching too but that is transient as far as I can tell. I used to love to have my feet rubbed but then it was either too painful or I couldn't feel it. About a year ago some of the sensation came back and now I like having them rubbed again. This is such a weird disease things stay the same and things change. I think it is the luck of the draw. The very best of luck to you. Keep the faith!

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...
