I have fibromyalgia and hypomobility. my collagen is doing the opposite of hypermobile folks'

I've been doing foot and ankle stretches in bed before getting up, and pumping my feet to get my blood moving

SOME DAYS THIS IS GREAT SOME DAYS I WAKE UP THE NEXT DAY STIFFER????

I think I can correlate wakeup pain and stiffness with Doing Activities (groceries, appointments) the previous day but not 1:1

I'm currently doing stretches when I wake up and before bed, daily

should I be increasing or decreasing something? do this only in the mornings? every other day? decrease reps/duration? decrease reps of flexes but increase held stretch time? I have no idea

I'm wondering if, because you're hypomobile, you're overextending just a bit at times, which would lead to the stiffness

I hyperextended my elbow in November and it STILL hurts, and it's much sharper than the acheys

I mean, it's kind of on a scale. the microtears from just going a bit past what you should can feel a bit like arthritis aches. Sometimes weather ends up being a factor. Other times it can be how much you hydrated and supplemented yourself to best hold onto that hydration
