I know Fibro causes alot of odd symptoms, I was just wondering if anyone else has a feeling of tightness in thier forarms. I will have a feeling as if I have pumped up my arms with wieghts and it feels tight. The muscle in my forearm. It usually gets this way if I hold my arm up for to long or if I over use it. It's not a lot of pain more of a tight muscle feeling. I know fibro affects our muscles. I was just wondering if anyone other than myself feels this. It's scary figuring out all the symptoms. I never knew that this stuff would affect so much of your body. I have head to toe symptoms. Just curious. Thanks in advance. Vicki

Vicky I used to have that off and on for many years. The muscle in my forearm would actually contract and it would stay that way - almost like a charlie horse that you get in your calves. Used to scare the heck out of me - I told my neuro and he just chalked it up to the fibro - ??? MaryAnn

I have that in my left forearm. I will have the tightness for a day or so and sometimes I then have visible spasming. The spasming is not painful. Just more of a annoyance than anything.
