Yes, difficulty walking after sitting or lying down is a common experience with fibromyalgia. Many people with fibromyalgia find that their knees can't bend easily, causing them to shuffle along slowly, or they may limp when their knees are having a particularly bad day.
Stiffness and pain after periods of rest are typical symptoms. You might notice that simple movements become challenging - your body needs time to "warm up" after being still. This can make getting up from a chair or out of bed feel especially difficult.
Some people describe their mobility as being slower than usual, with hunched shoulders or difficulty standing up straight. The severity can vary from day to day, depending on your overall pain and fatigue levels.
If you're experiencing frequent falls or the difficulty walking is worsening, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can help assess whether additional support or modifications might help keep you safe and mobile.

Sure. I think most people stiffen up a bit after not moving for a while.
Is that kind of what you are talking about?
