I also have been stretching a lot, so I see where you are coming from. I asked my doctor about it, and he said that that happens when you do not get enough excercise....I hope this helps.

I see..Yeah I don't get much excercise. That would make sense, thanks!

It might be some form of ocd, .Topher.

I also have this weird need to strech only this has been going for years and it is getting worse. I am afraid to go to the doctor because it is sooooo weird. When I was a kid it was my toes. now it is my entire body..mostly my legs. I don't know how to explain it but it is anywhere a body part is attached...ie inbetween fingers, toes, legs, arms neck and now even the sides of my mouth feel tight. so i am constantly opening my mouth as far as I can to strech my face. so weird...it is getting worse and I dont know what to do. I fear that the Doctor will think i am weird

Not weird at all - just a little unusual but the doc will have seen a lot worse, believe me! It sounds like OCD or some sort of tic which could be neurological in origin.

A doctor can help you control this. Go along and have a chat - you will not be judged!

as our bodies unfurl to there limit in height, length and mass, we feel the urge to strech and bend in new ways so that pressure can not escape but more be repositioned or lessened basically by making the container or our body larger. It is good, if your body is always growing it will be less likely be taken down by any opposing force of nature such as pathogens( bacteria, viruses, and structual deficiencies, conditions or malformations, another key important factor in all this is your diet, you need protein for building blocks to repair damaged and build new muscle mass, carbodhydrates from starches such as bread n what not for long lasting energy, sugar for fast and easily harnessed energy and last but not least vitamins and minerals such as b vitamins from watermelons to harness the energy of starches and sugars, well good luck

I really don't think it has anything to do with the response from peacefullwarrior. I too am having this problem. It happens so much worse at night...have to stretch everything from my neck down to my toes. I can't sleep. I feel like I constantly am having to stretch. It's even starting to happen during to day. The thing is, I'm 32 years old. My body quit growing a long time ago. And I do get exercise...daily. It first started after I had my daughter..9 years ago. Everyone told me it sounded like RLS..but it's getting worse. It's not just my legs and ankles and toes, again, it's everything. I really need help with this. I feel like I'm losing it. I'm not really sleeping (even with over the counter sleep aides). I'm exhausted. I need help and answers. Oh, and I don't want to go to the DR cause I just know they will try to send me to a neurologist and I can not afford that. Anything will help. Thank you!
