Last night I wrapped Christmas presents for around an hour, using scissors to cut the paper. By the end, the back of my hand was getting sore. Today my whole arm feels weak, up into my neck. Can anyone relate to this? I had MRI scans of my brain and spine last month which were normal. Any correspondence appreciated!

@A MyFibroTeam Member yep. Sometimes my thumns just shake right after texting. If it’s a very long message, I have to take breaks.
Yes, i ma able to relate. Any activity, or weight, like carrying carrier bags, leaves my arms and hands very weak...
Bless you xx
This happens to me too! It always freaks me out because I am very active and consider myself a pretty physically strong person, but some days I'll find that just lifting a few things causes my shoulder and arms to be sore and even get shaky. It's nice to hear that other people experience it too. <3
Yes! Using my arms to support myself yesterday because my legs were acting up, resulted in a lot of shoulder and elbow pain and general arm soreness today. I had to take a lot of breaks from using my arms today. Even typing hurts a bit. I guess this will be normal. Will just have to figure out our limits I guess. Although cutting with scissors for an hour sounds kind of tough in general! haha
Yes. Some days I do barely anything like lift a pot of water to boil macaroni and my arm feels like a noodle. I have had 2 MRIs, and much more testing. I was told “normal wear and tear based off of age but nothing remotely concering or of importance. What exactly does normal wear and tear mean?! Who knows. Last week after leaving church I turned my neck to the left and immediately felt a shooty pain and I then had a crick which is still bothering me 7 days later. Pain radiating down my neck/shoulder and into my arm. I don’t understand FMS at all. It’s a horrific illness. Cant wait to start wrapping my presents. I’ll feel the same way, Im sure.
