Horribly tight muscles

[BrokenArrow 52]

Over the past 2 days or so my entire muscle system has been so tight I can hardly move. My tension headache is absolutely agonizing. I have been exercising alittle more lately and I have also tried to cut down on my caffeine intake and I'm sure they are both playing a factor. However this is horrible. My knees, elbows, thighs, lower back, and temples feel like they are all in vise grips. I could really use any help with trying to relax them. I've been doing the hot bath thing, and it kinda works but they tighten back up once I get out.

That sounds horrible! Have you tried putting Epsom salt in the bath? 

I haven’t. I wish I could but I don’t have any more at my house and I’m in way too much pain to go out.

I did. I drank 2 cups of coffee. It helped alittle but it also kinda upset my stomach because I haven’t really eaten anything in the past 48 hours. Seems like a lose lose situation

That’s what I’m debating doing. Eating kinda scares me when I get like this because of my fear of vomiting but I known few crackers shouldn’t hurt. I just sucked it up and went to Walmart and bought some lavender epsom salt. Running a bath right now. Hopefully it should help. It def smells great.

I am a avid bowler. I am in multiple leagues and I practice basically every day. I average over 100 games a week. No thats not a typo, 1-0-0 a week. 

Basically I think my main issue might have been dehydration. The past couple days I have woke up with dry mouth like sand paper and my urine has been almost orange. I don't really drink much of anything other then coffee and I'm sure thats a bad idea. 

I just drank 2 bottles of water and I already feel better. Still alittle dizzy if I move my head fast or if I go from dark to light, but I think I'm improving.

I pulled my leg muscle thinking about bowling that much!

Thanks for asking! Unfortunately I think I might have fibromyalga. I was "kinda" diagnosed with it like 2 years ago. I had horrible body aches. Super stiff neck, back, chest, and massive light sensitivity. I went to a psychiatrist and she guessed fibro, but she never took it any further. Well 2 years ago when I did this, I lost my job and almost lost every thing. I had about a 2 month flare up where it hurt like hell to even turn my head, and thats basically where I am at now. The light sensitivity is awful. I can hardly even look at my computer screen. 

 

The sad thing is I woke up feeling good. I drank alot of water last night and had a 32 ounce gatoraid today and 3 pieces of garlic toast. I think I pushed myself too far. I went outside and started cleaning up my backyard and the headache that can charging back almost knocked me over. My forehead and my eyes are just terrible. I've called out of work the past two days in a row and I feel like I'm starting to spiral out of control.

I actually woke up feeling pretty good today. I went to bed pretty early last night. Shut off all the lights and blasted a humidifier on the highest setting. Seemed to do the trick for my headache. Woke up with really no head pain at all. Biggest issue right now is a tight lower back, but thats much more tolerable then a agonizing headache. Big thing I need to do now is eat more. Other then a couple slices of toast I haven't really eaten anything  in days. Think I'm headed in the right direction though.
