burning vs. logs

[pandysplace]

I have noticed than most people say that they have burning feelings in their extremities. I was also under the impression that Fibro causes achy/ painful muscles.  I was wondering if anybody had issues with their arms or legs feeling heavy, like logs?

everyone mentions the legs. I too have trouble with exercise with the legs, but it is random. One thing in particular that happens is when I am a passenger in a car and my hands are resting on my lap. they become VERY heavy. I can move them if I want to, but I feel like it would take a monstrous effort to do so... even though it doesn't. Anybody have similar issues?

I have the heavy log feelings in my legs but I normally just lie down and try not to do too much walking around the house.  The heavy feeling in my legs have now changed to just aching which makes it difficult for me to walk.  It started with a feeling that felt like there were a lot of strings being pulled in my legs which were probably nerves, then it went to the muscles jumping like crazy then it went to the heavy feeling and now its's just plain pain with the muscles jumping sporadically.

A good friend of mine who also has FM, started having the very heavy feeling in her legs. She said she could barely drag them around and they started giving out on her. She would nearly fall, etc... It finally got so bad that she insisted on more tests. The tests showed that she has MS.

My legs hurt really bad all the time and get weak but they dont ever feel heavy...

Good luck and feel better.

I get the log like feeling in my one leg after walking around a while when it's acting up. It only happens when my legs aren't working right. The more I walk, the heavier that leg gets until it's like dragging along a car with me.

But then...the dr isn't sure that's my fibro either. I've got nerve stuff and incontience that comes and goes that has them stumped atm.
