I can only stand up in one place for a short period of time, I began to ache and have to sit down. Also, at night when I am asleep and want to roll over, my hip area feels like an elephant is sitting on it and it is extremely hard to roll over. I don't understand it.

I have the exact same problems. The only thing that has worked for me is medical marijuana. It helps me to sleep and I can stand on my legs for long periods now. Couldn't stand or walk for more than 15 minutes before. Now I've put in 8 hour shifts and on my feet that whole time. It has been a miracle for me and has given me my life back. I only use it before I go to bed, so I am functioning all day without being high.
That because this is one of our trigger points , this is daily for me. I can stand and sit thanks to my exercising that's helped strengthen muscles in that area. It's still a painful spot though .
Wow, I didn't realize how many people hurt in the same area as I do. I can't walk very far before my hips and legs start giving me problems. When this happens and I have to get into my car I have a very hard time lifting my legs to get them inside. I always have a problem sitting down and standing up because my hips hurt. I have to find my balance upon standing and then I start of slow and pick up speed, lol. And my speed is that of an 80 year old! Of course I have to chug along because there is stuff I need to do. But if I'm standing still my hips and legs hurt from the first second. My hubby knows this and always finds me a place to sit down.
It's just another fun part of Fibro. I used to spend 8 hours a day on my feet. Now 5 minutes in one spot is more than I can handle.
I'm same Hun and like the other lady only heat helps xx
