Inflammatory disorders such as Polymyalgia and Fibromyalgia can cause widespread muscle pain and stiffness, especially in the shoulders and hips. Symptoms are usually worse in the morning and can greatly affect your ability to perform everyday activities.
Self care strategies including managing stress, getting adequate sleep, regulating your energy output and taking regular exercise can help manage symptoms. Whilst it may be difficult to exercise at first (as exercise may increase your pain) the Mayo Clinic recommends sticking with it, as repeated, regular exercise can decreases symptoms. Appropriate exercises may include walking, swimming, biking and water aerobics.
