Does Anyone Have Any Tips To Make Morning Stiffness/ Getting Out Of Bed Easier?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I struggle with morning stiffness so bad that before fibro I could only describe waking up in the morning as being so tired it hurts, but it literally does hurt! Morning stiffness plus sleeping problems makes waking up and getting out of bed the hardest part of the day.

How You Manage Plantar Fasciitis
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Plantar fasciitis is pain on the bottom of your foot, around your heel and arch.

The pain is much worse when you start walking after sleeping or resting.

The pain feels better during exercise, but returns after resting
it's difficult to raise your toes off the floor.
#Copied from NHS website
I have suffered from this for 18 yrs. It gets worse when standing for long especially when cooking and walking. I have to wear soft shoes.

Any Tips For Buying A Cane?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm thinking of looking into buying a cane for a while now
Walking in the beginning can be alright but sometimes even a little in,

Walking
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Strange ask but does anyone havd to really think or focus when walking on straight or walking down stairs. Some days I have to really focus or I feel my legs will not work or I will fall down the stairs. Its like I have to tell my brain right leg ,then left leg & walk. Its worse when i am tired or in a flare.

I am very careful when walking as legs just colapse by themselves so scared of going down. I check my floors just to make sure I havn't left anything to trip over. Safety for me. Evelyn
