I have not experienced a lot of stiffness but this morning it feels like I am trying to walk through water. I have been this way for over 3 hours and just wanted to know if that walking through water description is how others feel on a bad morning of stiffness. I am also in a lot of knee and ankle pain.
Thank you
For me, my morning stiffness feels like I am walking against a very heavy wind.Yeah; I guess I'd describe it that way. I always like to describe it as "I feel like the tin man in need of my oil!" lol
Hope you feel better soon.
That is a good analogy. This morning it has felt like under water but is lifting some now. I keep very detailed notes so I wanted to indicate the stifness and how long it lasted.
Thanks Gramma
walking through water describes my morning stiffness perfectly.Bonny, that could be a sign of a flare. 3 hours is a long time for thatLorster I am going back to bed after this post. I tried to walk it out this morning to no avail so I give up. Sarah I injected 20mg MTX and 50mg Enbrel Tuesday evening. So much for these meds. I hope you feel better soon.
Bonny, we both have PA and I tell you I'm stiff. It's like walking through water in the morning but you know it's worse for me at night. I literally stumbled into the bedroom, undressed, and almost crawled to the shower last night. I had to lean up against the wall of the shower because I was so overwhelmed with stiffness and knee pain. I feel like the water that I have to go through gets higher and higher. Maybe tomorrow I'll just be getting tootsies wet.
I hope that you're feeling better once you get up. Take care. Lindy
