Tight, painful muscles

I cannot recall the site but I was doing my usual trawl through the internet for various medical conditions (I should have been a doctor but I'm not brainy enough and like people too much.) I read a article about why muscles become tight and painful. The theory was that with any metabolic condition enough ATP does not enter the muscle; the muscles contract but do not release. If this lack of ATP continues over a long time the muscles lose their ability to expand, remaining fixed and tight.

This sounded logical to me. If I get to find it I'll post the link.

I found the same symtpoms listed with magnesium deficiency and although I don't remember it linking with ATP my brain probably would not have taken that in. I think Dr Lowe writes about ATP and tight muscles, possibly in a linke with T3.

Yup, flower007, that's the one. I'd have thought that I'd have lovely, stretchy muscles by now as I'm on T3 only...they are still tight and solid.

Hi penny

Looking for, and not finding, answers for my own muscle problems, I came across your post

How are you doing now?

I've put up many posts on HU re: the muscle problems, and have had some very good feedback, thankfully!

If you get back I can tell you what has and has not helped me

All the best
