Just can’t believe you all feel the same way with your legs ! I am exactly the same as you all describe - like walking with weights on your legs , like gravity pulling down, wading through concrete etc etc ! My walking is gradually getting much worse because of this! ! Tulip your early morning is exactly the same as mine ! On a lighter note - so funny that gif Deb posted! I love the humor on this site !!

@A MyFibroTeam Member, Good analogy.
The first time I described this to my doctor I described it as ... it feels I'm walking in a pool of thick molasses or tar.

@A MyFibroTeam Member, Yes. I try not to get out of bed right away. I try some gentle stretches and veryl slowly get up hold on to the walls not to fall. Slowly and gently wlk my way to a new day which usually starts in the bathroom. Extra careful there and my muscles and joints begin to thaw ... rushing is never helpful.
At other times, I also experience that. I sit and take a break. the key for me has been NOT feeling frustrated, sit and pause until I regain energy meaning the WEIGHTS u mentioned feel lighter so I can continue walking.
Take care. 💜🌷

Yes my legs go very tight, it actually affects my legs and feet alot. I tingle, have a vibration sensation, electric shock feelings from my neck all the way down to my toes.
In the past my legs have give up and I can hardly walk, from my lower back it feels as if something is dragging me back or dwon, a very strange feeling. They also go numb. That's how I found out there was something wrong with me 23 years ago.

My legs feel like regular but after I walk a long distance, my legs spasms and ache. I walk, my step length grows smaller with each step. Only thing that helps is laying down, putting my feet up.
