Has Anyone Else Experienced Anything Like This?

Last night I couldn't sleep because of this sensation... hard to describe...my calf muscles felt like they were contracting!!! Or being blown up like a balloon! & then let down again! (Sorry, don't know how else to describe it!!) Now this morning my legs feel extremely heavy!!!

Hi BeckyJohnson, Yes, sometimes I feel my muscles contracting and I have muscle spasms and I'll twitch and jerk my legs. When my legs get heavy, I've learned its chronic fatigue. I describe it as someone filling my legs up with lead and walking through water with cement on my feet. I know my pain has a mind of its own and does crazy stuff to my body. I hope I was of some help to you.

Yes I get this too, especially at night - normally worse after standing on my feet a lot, like on a work day!

I also get bad swelling in legs and feet. But definitely know the heaviness you mention.
This article just was sent to me and explains why blood flow may have something to do with fybro.
