Members overwhelmingly confirmed experiencing the same muscle pain that feels like pulling and twisting during everyday activities like sweeping, hoovering, or even just sitting, with many describing it as a constant ache similar to post-workout soreness that never fully goes away and worsens with movement or during flares. Several members found relief through magnesium supplementation, which many recommended as an essential daily practice for fibromyalgia, along with stretching exercises and massage to address inflammation and muscle tightness. A recurring theme was the frustration that while exercise and movement are often recommended, they can help one area while aggravating another, and the pain persists even during rest or minimal activity.

Yes! I don't get spasms, just constant tightness, aches, and feels like muscles are twisted and pulled.

Magnesium goes with muscle pain. It may not get rid of all but most it sure makes it a lot easier.

I think it's safe to say this is pretty common in a lot of Fibro patients. For me, the best way I can describe my muscle pain is for example: When you haven't worked out in a while, and you have a very hardcore workout then the next several days your muscles ache like hell.
It's like that for me, but more constant. A constant ache that never goes away and worsens with movements, like as you mentioned sweeping or every day activities like climbing stairs or even sitting down can really hurt my hips.

Yes, usually when doing physical stuff. My Dr said it was lactic acid and use magnesium. It worked

My only suggestion is are you taking Magnesium? I think all fibro suffered should take Magnesium everyday. You can Google it and see why it is so important.
