So who all here experiences this one ???

For all my years with FM (20+)

{and BTW, anybody following my posts, knows that my FM has improved by 95%, since my whole "body swap" > However, this is one that I still usually get at least once or twice a day}

......often after sitting for a bit, or driving, or when I get up in the morning, I'll start to walk, and it's like I get nails shoved all through my ankles ! Sometimes I can kind of fight through it, and keep walking without anybody really knowing that I'm hurting.... but other X's, like today, I started to walk through my work place, and got a really "good one" that made me start hobbling, and in a low voice, say, "Ow ow oh oh oh......." My manager spun around and asked, "Are you alright ? What did you do" ?

I told him, "Well give me 30 seconds, and I'll be fine..... oh, and I didn't do anything". Like I told him, FM doesn't need a reason to make you suffer !

So he was like, "Wow, that sucks", to which I replied, "Dude, you can't even start to imagine, no sooner than anyone else without FM could imagine....."

Oh but as always, with this particular pain, it was completely gone in less than a minute.

Just curious if any of you get this one ?

Always!  That's part of the stiffness I get after I've rested a while.  I always gimp around for about a minute.  It hits my ankles sometimes and my upper legs a lot.

This place.... and all of you guys just trip me the heck out !

I mean, after all these years, thinking I was the only person on the planet who must experience this stupid, unexplainable garbage !

How in the heck is it, that Dr's are so freaking clueless to this !?!? URGGG !

Yet again, thank you guys.

PS, Oh, and yes, I get this in my feet and knees sometimes too. But about 90% its all in / around my ankles.

I get this as well, but usually in my heels or my hips, sometimes my knees or my shoulders (especially the left; probably due in part to an old break). And you are asking the same questions we ask every day: How are doctors so clueless!? I have said that at least a dozen times in the last week lol

Do any of you women get pain that encircles your entire hip/pelvis area and it feels like you are in intense labor? I literally feel like I have a girdle with tacks on the inside and the tacks are taking turns sticking me. Intense labor is about the only way I could explain it to a doctor so they would understand.

I also get the stabbing pain, but it's in different places in my feet. Sometimes I'll be walking along and BAM! there's a stabbing pain in the bottom of my foot, like two bones are colliding or one is on top of the other. So I hobble around and then five minutes later I'm okay. It's the weirdest thing.
