I get them in my back ... Where my ribs are. Heat really helps me. I have a heating pad I put on and I lean against it on yhge coach. When I feel looser, I strretch it out with some yoga poses I learned. How about a hot bath? Maybe with some Epsom salt? It is magnesium and it is a muscle relaxer. Maybe a combo of the two might release some if the tightness in your muscles?
I keep getting chest pains. I was told that a lot of that can be Fibro related but I sure hope it doesn't create a problem that I don't know about and ignore and have it turn into something else I ignore these symptoms.
I also get them. I try and get a massage once a month. Which is pure torture. Also I try and do deep breathing then stretching daily
I get them in my calves a lot especially if I try to stretch. But then my husband and my physical therapist remind me that that also is a sign that I have NOT been drinking my water........oops.......
I drink tonic water every day. The quinine really helps.
