hi all
How do you all feel in the morning?I wake up with my arms and legs feeling stiff and have been told it’s probably my fibromyalgia,does anyone else get this ?I also have calcific tendinitis on my hip and shoulders and the restrictions it gives me to stretch my body without pain is chronic and makes my hip so painful to walk ,Is this familiar to anyone ?
Hi, i have calcific tendonitis in my shoulders and my shoulders feel squashed and pain when i wake up. I now sleep on my back. Had cortisone injections in my shoulder and a nerve block. I do physio when i can but it has impingenent as well and it has gone to both shoulders. They wont operate as i have Fnd as well. Its makes me so sad . Just woke up and my shoulders are so painful. How do u cope ? X
I just have to get up at a certain time and take a warm shower and exercise ,sitting about makes me stiff so I like to do a walk every day
I’ve had physio but they’ve discharged me with exercises I’m stick with tendinitis in my shoulders and hip and stiff every morning it’s miserable but after a good shower and walk about I improve
Hi I've just had to accept I can't stretch, my mind knows I need and want to stretch but my body says, don't you dare it's not worth the additional pain it's causes. I've been like this for over 3 years...you get used to it.Take care.

Good morning, unfortunately the stiffness in the mornings never seems to go away. I feel like my body has shrunk within itself during the night and it is a slow and painful morning whilst it stretches out again. I have chronic migraine and hemicrania continua on one side of my head too so neurologist advised not to take any pain killers at all because it makes my head worse. So sorry you are in pain this morning, I know only too well how you feel xx
Yes, stiffness and therefore pain has been a daily companion for years so I feel for you. Did you have an x ray for the diagnosis?
My mobility is being hindered by something going on in the hip area, so walking and standing brings on pain in the hip/groin area down the thigh to the knee. For Fibro walking is a gentle but beneficial exercise and is a pleasure usually, so I’m hoping it can be treated.
I hope you can get treatment do that your hip problem can be resolved?
I think movement is key here, and especially limiting time spent sitting or being in one position too long. I find the stiffness does eventually reduce once I am up and about.
I hope you get relief soon. All the best.
My ankles are usually very stiff every morning. When I get out of bed to go to the loo I'm walking like a duck - flat footed!
Takes ages to get everything to ease a little. Although the stiffness subsides it doesn't really go away.
I know how you feel. Every morning its a struggle to get out of bed. Some morning I also get a tingling sensation through my whole body. I usually try deep breathing and slow stretches which does help. I also have osteoarthritis which adds to it. Brain fog first thing too. It all feels like wading through porridge!
You arent alone in struggling, no meds seem to help with morning fatigue and aches.
HI... yes, I wake up a stiff as a board in the morning. Have to do some shoulder rolls and neck turning...to try to loosen up and help the pain.. then wave my arms and legs about a bit ( it conjures up a lovely picture!) But bending has become difficult as I get stuck, my back aches terribly some days and I've noticed I'm walking with stoop now... whereas I used to walk head up, shoulders back, quite spritely. Things have changed, so much so, that people who haven't seen me for a while ask If I'm alright... I just tell them, I've hurt my back.
Take care x
Yes takes me ages to get going in the mornings usually have a red hot shower just let the water run on my back.
That’s what I find helps a warm shower
Hip giving way !!!!!!!!!!!!!
does anyone else have this?
