Hi Zita71

I do get the pain as you have described. I hobble around when getting up from a sitting position. This condition has completely changed the way I walk. I feel like I have aged 30 years overnight!

Hi. Yes it feels as though someone is using my thighs as elastic bands and stretching them as far as they can. Sometimes when I walk my hips start and I find it hard to walk properly. When I have been sitting down for a while I seize up and it is very painful but wears off after a few minutes.

I have noticed that, in the last 3 days I've had a terrible time trying to put one foot in front of the other and I've slowed down to a snails pace! I've always said that if something bothers you enough to be thinking about it continuously, make an appointment with the Dr! This is exactly what I've done!....I'm seeing her this afternoon...as I refuse to put everything in the "FIBRO BOX" ...much love...ninja...xxx

Hi Zita71!...:-D The Dr I had to see was new to the surgery and didn't know what the problem could be and suggested that I mention it to the pain management team who I have an appointment with in June!!! Not really much help at all, so I'll just keep an eye on it for the next few days...thanks for the concern... Very kind!...xxx

Hi Joanne I do hope you get it sorted x x thank you for sharing as well this is one mental illness x x x

Absolutely! Glad I'm not the only one. I get the same pain when I'm walking...I can feel all the muscles and ligaments working as I lift my feet to step forward and feel it all again when I put my feet down again. It tends to make me concentrate on moving carefully....maybe that's what they mean when they talk about being 'mindful' :)

Ooooh! Lots of you have similar problems. Yes, I feel like I've aged too in all of this...I used to take long strides and walk very quickly, nowadays I take smaller steps and walk slowly and quite carefully when I'm out but when I'm at home, I shuffle...hmmm...not good :)

Check you don't have a vitamin D deficiency, I had similar pains when sitting and stiffness when getting up out of chairs and bed. Even thought I needed new hips, but not so as Doctor said I was extremely flexible on my hips and did I do Ballet or Yoga ? (No I didn't.)

I was found to be D deficient, but even being 'low' within the vitamin D blood range range you might benefit from taken vitamin D3.

Once I was on my optimal dose Vitamin D, my pains fell away quickly and I was once again able to get up out of chairs and bed normally without it hurting.

vitamindcouncil tells you all about Vitamin D safe doses to take and illnesses it can help prevent.

Oh yes I know that feeling oh to well. You will also have days your legs feel like they cannot hold your body up or that your knees are twisting and then other times like your ankles are breaking under your body weight. My newest one is my feet feeling this they r ripping open with every step I take. But doctors around here don't recognize fibro as a illness it's all psychological and u need to seek mental help. Those I wish would have to deal with these problems.

Not what you're looking for?
