fibromyalgia in legs

I'm new here and I haven't had a fibromyalgia diagnosis, but I have had muscle twitching all over (mostly in my legs) and that has died down quite a bit, but I've have tired muscles and I have been so tired. I get tender spots that hurt for no reason to the touch. This past Saturday I went dancing and almost didn't make it through the first song, my legs started to hurt so bad. I woke up the next morning and it felt like someone had beat my legs with a baseball bat.

To date my wife has been diagnosed with Fibromyalga, CFS & Bipolar. Recently she has started collapsing for no reason. Her legs just give way - in her words "turn to jelly", and she has began to drop things also for no reason. The effect is only for a second or so, but enough time for her to be on the floor, or down the stair case etc. Any thoughts? Nb her mother had Myasthenia gravis. However nerve tests 7 years ago (when she was aged 32) showed no signs.

s and they are not working. Do you think the weakness in the legs is a symptom for fibromyalgia and how about the hip pain is that the same from fibromyalgia? I do have an appointment with a orthopedic doctor because I also have pain in both of my knees for years now and I can not Neil down and get back up with out someone helping me. ( comes with severe pain ) or climb stairs. Hopefully you can answer some questions for me.

What other symptoms are you having?

I have fibro and for the most part it has been under control during my pregnancy. I'm 21wks, and honestly just the last wk or 2 it has gotten bad in my calves and legs b.c that's where I have pain anyway and with the cramps you get being pregnant it got worse.

Patients may also feel numbness, tingling, or unusual “crawling” sensations in the arms and legs. Although some degree of muscle pain is always present, it varies in intensity and is aggravated by certain conditions, such as anxiety or stress, poor sleep, exertion, or exposure to cold or dampness. Muscle stiffness is typically present upon awakening and tends to improve as the day progresses. However, in some cases, muscle stiffness can remain throughout the day.

I have fibromyalgia and I get horrible pains in my legs (radiates up and down from my knee most of the time) and other places... however I have never found that anti-inflammatory or pain medication to relieve these symptoms. Because there is no physical reason for fibromyalgia pain to occur (no inflammation, weird blood tests, visible damage, etc.) that is often why it is so hard to diagnose and why pain meds and etc. normally do not work on people with this disorder.

Fibromyalgia is widespread pain throuout the entire body,it actually hurts to be touched.Maybe a possible pinched nerve or sciatica?

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have taken different medicines and nothing seems to help. Some help me sleep but that's it. The worse thing to me is the fatigue, I feel like I'm exhausted every day all day !! I also recently have something new happening, My legs will start itching then a bruise will appear on my top thigh, not a normal looking bruise but like little purple and black dots. I have 3 now in about the past 3 months.

I woke up yesterday morning & my lower legs were hurting. They hurt in the front of where my calves are. They hurt when I walk or when I twirl my feet like trying to pop my ankles. It stopped for a while yesterday & they don't hurt if they are propped up. I was fine most of today then they started to hurt again. What may be causing this??

At night time I often find it hard to sleep because of a dull ache in my arms and legs (2-4 times a week). The pain is not always in all four. Sometimes its just my arms or just my legs or just one leg. Last night it was both arms and I woke up at least once an hour from it. I do fall a lot. I have fallen down the stairs at least 7 times this pass year and I have always been clumsy so it could be from injury but I have never broken a bone (I swear my bones must be made of metal).

Hi I am pretty for sure I have Fibromyalgia some of my symptoms include Soar and stiff muscles in my legs and I just have a Flu like feeling all the time and also the pressure points you have. I have those also. Does this sound like Fibromyalgia to you.

I've been having pains in my upper legs - front of thighs. Sometimes it hurts to walk. I also get a pain in my upper arms - in the muscles. My legs feel like I've been doing too many squats but I haven't. My arms feel like I've been exercising them too but I haven't. The muscles feel like they are in a knot. When I get this feeling, I sometimes get dizzy or spaced out - like I'm out of body (I know that sounds weird but it's the only way I can explain it).

I went to the doctors in February with horrible muscle pain in my legs and arms. He did a b-12 which i was low a few months back. Came in with arm pain and not feeling good. He also checked my thyroid and D levels. My thyroid was off a few months ago also but is fine now. But the D test came back low. In the mean time I couldn't take it and went to the rhemy whom I just saw in Janurary.

i have had fm for about 3 years now but just recently i have been getting more and more numbness in my arms legs and feet sometimes it hurts and sometimes it so bad they go dead like the feeling you get when you been lay on them for hours and then wake up and they are dead, i only have to keep something still for a couple of mins for it to stat, like now cos on pc my legs and feet are numb and tingling really bad, is this normal is there anything i can do to relieve symptoms. thanks.

Following then onwards, I have experince pain trobbing at the back, in between the joint of knees, in between the hip joint, upper and lower both of the legs, at the joints of the arms, in between fingers, at the palm of hands and feet. Am i suffering from fibromyalgia? Do i need to do a full body check-up for diagnosis?

ve been having this weird heaviness/pressure, plus numbing/tingling feeling on the right side of my face and the back of my head. Also in both of my legs. It also feels cold, like running water sometimes. It all started about the same time I started having this weird internal shaking/tremor feeling. Which has been going on for about 3 weeks straight (losing a lot of sleep here!) -- plus I've had migraines for years.

hi i am 18 years old and since the start of 2009 have been depressed and had fibromyalgia, in the last 2 months ive noticed i have been getting pains in mostly my hands and arms but sometimes my legs. the pains come and go in short and sharp spells. the pains are stabbing pains all over my hands and occasionally on my arms, and last for about 30 minns-and hour. but then go away for an hour but come back.

a year ago that confirmed a little nerve problem in my lower legs but with no pain. The pain in my feet is horrible and gradually increasing. What can be done? How is something like this treated? Can it be treated? Has anyone else had this problem? I am not diabetic.

Your symptoms do sound like they could be fibromyalgia but it could be something else too. In the mean time soak in the tub, use a heating pad, stretching is good, don't over exert yourself, take NSAIDs and get lots of sleep. Massage can help too. Are you feeling extra fatigued?

It has also been linked to fatigue, sleep problems, headaches and depression. Your symptoms may be due to fibromyalgia. Burning sensation in legs can be due to neurological, vascular causes, vitamin, calcium or hormone deficiencies, frostbite, skin conditions, ulcers, carpal tunnel syndrome etc. Adopt lifestyle changes. Stress relief programmes, exercise may help. Consult a trained healthcare professional for exact cause. Do keep us posted. Take care and regards!

s a persistent numbness in the middle of my back. The pain is often in my left leg, and sometimes my right. My legs, feet, and face get hot flashes. Sometimes it feels like there's something warm and fuzzy in the back of my head, and I have muscle spasms everywhere. Mostly my legs, noses, eyes, and temples. History - 28 year old male with a history of GERD. Please help if you can.

More so in my arms but also in my legs. I have an appointment to have an emg done in two days. Any advice would be great or anything I should ask my doc?
