Hi I suffer from fibromyalgia in all it various forms for twenty years ..diagnosed for ten years.Over the last few months however I have experienced a weakness ....for example I can no long squat or crouch down and lift myself up...in addition after sleeping, resting or being in one position for a time ... My body is rigid and moving is difficult. In the mornings im walking as I would expect a ninety year old would ...stiffness and pain. Lifting a cup of coffee is nearly impossible.....with weakness and pain ...
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical Neurological examination is advised. As post this, your treatment will be initiated again to make you functionally active. Since you have fibromyalgia long 10 years this must have made the muscle fibers more stiff to respond to chemical Chat Doctor. As in my clinical practice such long-standing cases of fibromyalgia are advised to undergo physical therapy. Many cases respond well to physical therapy. The pain is controlled and mobility is regained. Since fibromyalgia is a condition of the inflammation of the fibers in the muscle the fatigue happening in the muscular system is much faster due to the faster glycolysis cycle. Making a correction with the effort of inducing the exercises will make a help to changes in metabolism and improve the physiological process. Regards Jay In
