Many of us have this however I would urge you to see your GP if this is a new symptom, there are other causes. Lou

Hi I often get the feeling like I have a "brick" or "lead weight " in the soles of my feet. I also get pain below my heels, which is due to plantar fasciitis, which I have shoe insoles and physio exercise for. It would be worth getting this checked out by your doctor.

I sometimes get the feeling of "heaviness" in my upper arms and tired muscles in my limbs.

Like phlebo 123 I often feel as though my arms have gone really heavy and I have difficulty lifting them it as though I have overdone swimming for the first time. My hands also completely stiffen up and I think I have got hold of something like a milk bottle but suddenly seem to lose my grip and it slips through my fingers and have difficulty opening anything with a screw top. The muscles in my legs can also get very achy and heavy and it is as though I have ton weights on my feet. Like lou60 says if this is something new it is best to have it checked out as it can occasionally be something that is not fibro related. Let us know how you get on.
