For months, I've stretched multiple times per day as instructed by a physical therapist. I don't think I'm any more flexible now than when I started. My legs are so stiff that I can only hobble around. My awkward gait is causing me to injury myself. I recently started taking 250 mg of...

Just wondered how/if it affects...

I have been very inactive due to high pain for the past 2 years...so at home all the time.
I am suddenly very worried about the amount of muscle mass i have lost and i was in quite good shape even with fibro prior to this as i walked as much as possible and kept flexible doing my house chores...
I'm so glad to have found this site. I'm dealing with fibro and with ostearthritis in both knees, with the right one needing replacement soon.
In the past I've dealt with depression, using medication and therapy and am finally off the meds for that. But I'm finding an increase of pain due to...
