I am a 35 yr old female and the last couple of months have started to experience problems with my muscles in my legs and fingers. Mainly it is like when my muscles contract I have a hard time getting them to relax. Like when I need to use my hands to open something sometimes I have to literally pull my hand off and my fingers will stay exactly in place as if they were still around the object. It will take a bit for them to open back up and at times I have had to pull them back into the straight position. It is very painful, secondly my legs are the worse. When sitting and then going to stand up is the worse the muscles in my upper legs I feel them contract and have to slowly straighten up and then when I go to try and walk my legs do not want to go and when they do they will not bend it takes my muscles awhile to relax to walk. No I have started to have swelling in feet and ankles and also this painful burning in my lower back and was just hoping to get some feedback as to what
Answer:
I really wouldn't want to accept any diagnosis on ByeDr.com because it would potentially not alarm me or make me very anxious.
If I were you, I would see a doctor right away though. It sounds like something that could be serious and the only way to know for sure is to be examined by a doctor.
Sounds pretty serious.
It possibly could be a form of rheumatoid arthritis...??
I would seek medical attention to rule out anything possibly more serious.
Sounds like you may have Scleroderma but please see your doctor.
RLS? ( restless legs syndrome?)
