Does this look like how you feel?

To me its more like having a child standing on my feet while i hold their hands and walk to amuse them. It also feels as if i have a very heavy weight in the middle of my stomach.

I call it the fibro monster, sometimes it is heavier than others.

Yes fibro is heavy.

Hi, yes I know how you feel. My walking is very much affected. My legs feel heavy and fatuged. Lower back and buttocks hurt, calves, ankles, feet and hips too. I am sitting here with my feet up on the sofa and have random pains all over my legs. Stabbing pains in ankles and the most annoying, constant, non stop sore, burning, aching feet- in fact, my feet hurt so much I feel like crying because it is ongoing. Chronic pain can be so debilitating and soul destroying but one has no choice but to push on. I often wish that people could see fibromyalgia and what it is doing to our bodies. Wishing you well, soft hugs, Mags x

I recently found Aspercream with Lidicaine. You can get at drugstore. Also, Two Old Goats ( order over Internet) is wonderful for legs and feet .

Oh, how I identify with your experience - your description is a mirror image of what I imagine is part of the Fibromyalgia package, it is good to know this scene is shared.

Thank you from my 4am ORAMORPH and cuppa time.

I fully understand how that feels, I have numbness in my feet, feels like I'm on a bouncy castle when walking. xx

Hi Lou.

Ever get rubber knee joints? To me it feels like an elastic band in my knees that springs my knees back into place instead of nice and gently.It makes me walk like a Thunderbird puppet.

Picture is almost spot on! If you add an anchor strapped to your back with the point resting on low back that would be me! It is just a matter of living ones life to the best of your ability! I just think to myself it's a balancing act. I too feel the bouncy castle. Really to tell the truth I have never really felt my feet much. I have to check my feet often because well if I step on something there are times I don't feel it. I walk around with bruses a lot to. When asked how I got them I really don't know. I have a lot of numbness throughout my body now. Spine is in bad shape but due to heart condition surgery is out! So I live my life thumb my health problems. Enjoying grandsons and daughter and new son. Love to listen to daughter and new son them to are soulmates. He is so good to her and boys. He also holds me in a special place in his heart! So good luck to everyone! Hugs and good thoughts!

I have the same as you've described francesco.

I feel like I am carrying a huge gorilla around all the time while having blocks of cement on each foot. My gorilla is called Frank.

I have a Monster called Fibron.

He has terrible tantrums. :P

Sounds like you need to visit with your doc about changing your meds . Something for pain and better sleep help .
