wobbly legs

my legs feel like jelly and i really dont like it they almost feel numb. my muscles feel very tigh in my calfs and i have noticed this sensation even on waking.

Has anyone ever assessed you for Myofascial trigger points/restrictions? Tight feeling muscles, along with muscle weakness and impaired sensation would all fit with myofascial trigger points being an issue for you - this is very common with Fibro but requires different treatment.

sound s like something mentioned at the pain clinic a while back-they injection me with steroids into trigger points-does this sound like what you suggested

[LindseyMid in reply to moss]

Yep, that's myofascial trigger points. Injections are one possible treatment. They work best if you don't have wide areas of restriction though. Are you getting any physio? Could you go private for myofascial release therapy? How about meds - any muscle relaxants?

i ve just rang to go see a lady who does it private-i have seen her in the past. i ve been sitting alot over last couple of weeks as i am trying to study

I have that but have never heard of myofascial release therapy.
