Fibromyalgia – 12 Signs & Symptoms

Stiffness

This health condition may be the underlying cause of stiffness. The stiffness may be extremely severe, especially when you have been in a particular position for an extended period. As a result of this, you may wake up in the morning and feel stiff.

Almost all people with this condition feel the need to loosen up to get started with their day’s work. The joints and muscles of their arms, legs, and back feel very stiff. Some patients say the stiffness only last for a few minutes, other not more than 20 minutes daily. However, it may last for several hours, and in some rare cases, lingers all day.

Also, it may be responsible for your muscles to spasm, a painful experience due to contracting of the muscle in a tight manner.
