I’m currently experiencing severe cramping down the back of my legs … never had before. Don’t ever know if what I’m feeling is the Fibro or something else. Anybody?
I experience cramp and muscle spasms all the time and yes its the fibro unfortunately
Hello Tammy
I suppose it could be something else, but it certainly could be fibro. There can be lots of cramping in different areas of the body with fibro. I often have cramps in my hands and fingers.
A gentle hug

I got that from taking medications. So bad that I could not walk. Have you started something new?
More than likely fibro I'd say I get pain in my knees ancles and thighs .
Sometimes if walking or standing for too long I have gotton 'electric shocks' down my leg or down my arm , happens when I cough . Found that very strange , its not cyatica its just one of those things. Anybody else ever experienced this?
Hi-My legs have been bothering me a lot too lately. Severe LEG CRAMPS AT NIGHT. tHE LAST ONE WAS SO BAD i ROLLED OUT OF BED TRYING TO GET MY LEG TO UNCRAMP. iT SEEMED TO LAST FOREVER AND i ENDED UP WITH A VERY SORE CALF FOR A WEEK. now MY other LEG FEELS ALL TIGHT, AS IF THE MUSCLES AREN'T WORKING RIGHT. i HAVE BEEN TAKING FISH OIL DAILY AND THAT HAD HELPED MY JOINT PAIN AND MUSCLE STIFFNESS A LOT, BUT SEEMS NOT TO BE WORKING TOO MUCH ANY MORE. i ALSO FIND WHEN i GO THRU THESE BAD MUSCLE TIMES MY HANDWRITING GGETS REALLY BAD... Anybody else. Sorry for the caps, I am a bit of a klutz on the computer
Ive had foot leg spasms and cramps Wednesday and Thursday both ar night ill look it up nonlinear your deficient in a supplement magnesium thanks for telling me its the fibro I think you can do stretching exercises like a pushup standing g up and using the walk to stretch the muscles ill try that tonight and see if it works
I get cramps in my legs when I'm asleep, usually around 5 or 6 AM. Have you tried drinking more water? I find that when I'm dehydrated I get these cramps. If I drink some water, I usually don't. Of course, what works for me might not work for you. Yeah, I think it's the fibro, btw.
Yes, brief jolts in my elbow.
That's really weird with the handwriting. But I'm not surprised that your motor skills are affected by fibro.
Try drinking more water and see if that helps the cramps. It works for me.
Thanks all, I will try to drink more water. Also heard that eating a banana daily can help becasue of the potassium. My leg is still really sore from the last cramp episode but at least have not had any more....
IM GOING TO DRINK MORE WATER I ALWAYS EAT A BANANA FIR BREAKFAST AKSO WILL TRY THE STRETCHING EXERCISES BEFORE GOUNG TO SKEEP TONIGHT DIDNT HAVE ANY YESTERDAY OR LAST NIGHT WULL LET YOU KNIW TO.ORROW UF IT WORKS BECAUSE I WORK TONIGHT HAVE A GOID DAY EVERYONE
