What Causes Stiffness In Bones?
Every morning I wake up and it feels as if my bones are stiff mainly in my back, arms and chest/collar bone area. I have to strech to loosen them up again, but when I do I can hear them clicking. Its not painful but it can be uncomfortable. I used to have this problem if I slept in beds with very poor matresses, however now it seems I get it no matter what type of bed I sleep on. I don t have arthritus and would like to know if there is any reason for waking up with sore/stiff bones and joints?

Hello,
Sometimes, the overuse of the muscles can cause such stiffness when waking up. Even the contrary, the lack of physical activity can cause such stiffness.
The key solution is to keep your joints in movement, exercising, walking or jogging are of good help, especially when it comes to exercises for the muscles of the spine.
Take magnesium supplement for these days, once a day, non more than 300 mg per day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
