My leg pain can be tolerable during the day, but gets worse at nighttime. I've tried magnesium pills and lotions, which didn't make any difference.Not tried it yet (because I keep forgetting to buy some) - but apparently rubbing olbas oil on your legs can help xxx

Bedtime is always worse for me too but during the day can be bad sometimes to 😫

you may have folate deficiency. I don't absorb vits etc very well due to hashimoto and my bloods showed I was very low ... terrible pains in legs ... burning etc. GP gave me a course and I have hardly any probs since.

This is a common pain for many of us with fibro. It’s so frustrating. The things that help me are: Epsom salts baths, TENS machine on the thighs, swimming and a foam roller. The foam roller helps to unstick the fascia, and I find it incredibly effective. Hope you get some relief x

P.S. try not to wear any tight fitting jeans or trousers when the pain is bad. This can make it worse.

I actually find that wearing leggings with lycra - the tightness can sometimes help with pain

I’ve never tried leggings, maybe I should! But skinny jeans are a definite no no for me...way too much pressure. They’re out of fashion now anyway so maybe it’s time for a change 😂

I never did like skinny jeans anyways

Thank you so much!
