@A MyFibroTeam Member, have you tried smoking some marijuana with at least 9% THC or above to relieve pain. I smoke marijuana daily. Sativa’s during the day and Indicas just before bedtime. The head high gives your mind a break from processing pain signals, plus it makes everything more enjoyable; Food, TV, Music and even Stretching and light weight workouts.

Oh...how long do you hold your stretches for? Try holding them for a minute to start, then increase the time as it becomes easier. I hit the bong before I stretch and can easily hold a stretch for 5 minutes and have actually fallen asleep a couple of times during my 3 hour sessions.
FASCIA.....the cause of most tight muscle and soreness.

If you do not exercise regularly, you will havethe toughness and cramping. Stretching, but not right before sleep, does do wonders. About 45 min to an hour before, should be good. Have you tried CBD oil? I put a small amount with a bit of melatonin in my bedtime tea...and in the morning without the melatonin. I'm not saying this entirely solves the problem, but both methods do help greatly.
@A MyFibroTeam Member oh i see it is different and will pick some up.
No methocarbomal is not flexeril i did not tolerate flexeril
And while i understand that opoid based drugs cause pain to be worse i am not sure this is the case with wvery drug.
Unfortunately being totally drug free dows not work for me and jesus i wish spwll check woukd work on this app! Ugh! The typing on the phone is so tedious
Yes I did due to one of my meds side affect, so the dr put me on Cogentive small dose it also is a drug for dementia. It took away spasms & cramps.
I also work out every other day, sometimes more, but it doesn’t help my stiff body when I first get out of bed and there’s no way I could stretch before getting out of bed, I need my pills in me for about an hour before I can move!
