Hi Paula, I sometime feel the need to stretch my neck and move my shoulders right back, but not on a constant basis . I hope that your visit to the doctor tomorrow can give you some respite from it, it must be very tiring. Wishing you all the very best :-)

I'm pretty much constantly streching something. Whether it's my neck and back or my arms and shoulders, or my legs and feet, there's always something needing a good stretch. It seems I can't stretch enough. The physio exercises I have for my legs and feet do help so I'm more or less doing those all day, from the minute I wake to the time I'm going to sleep. I'm waiting on physio now for my knees/ankles and my neck/back and am hoping I'll get some help and relief from that. Massage also helps, although I have to do it for myself so it's not as effective as it would be if I were able to actually relax and be given a massage, but oh well, I guess until someone decides to give me a fortune, massages will stay out of my budget!

I have this from time to time . When most noticeable I've done blood work to find my liver counts were out of range . For me I believe this to be a side effect from toxins in liver and body . Your liver will rejuvenate itself over time and this feeling will go away .

Curiously I've noticed this same feeling after intense workouts when taking testosterone and other herbals . I was over loading my liver . I cleaned out with healthy diet and lots of water and didn't have any issues until later about a year . I did the same again and again it came back .

When I stretched it felt as if I was going to break something in my body . Very intense ! But It felt good just uncontrollable . Never did crack or meth but I could compare to the feeling I couldn't get enough stretching.

Hi paulapips64

I sincerely hope that you are as well as you can be today? I am so sorry to read that you are suffering in this way at the present time.

I quite often stretch with thinking about it as I feel quite cramped up, and then the pain I get for this is awful. I always try and make a conscious effort not to do this but it just simply happens naturally.

I sincerely hope that your appointment goes really well for you and that you can get some resolution and relief from this.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I get this from time to time. Bring back the rack! It does pass. Not sure what it is, assume its part of our old friend FM!

I go through periods of this when I am having a flareup.. where it constantly feels like I have to stretch my legs/arms, neck.. even facial muscles and eyes are involved.. it usually eases or stops altogether when the flareup dies back
