Sleep trouble from new "pain"

Nothing_but_books profile image
β€’18 Replies

For the last 3 weeks or so, a few days a week, when I get in bed the left side of my body from my waist down is weird. Something's wrong that's hard to explain. It's right on the outside edge of my hip, leg, and foot. I've been putting heat on my leg during the night, but this lasts hours and ruins my sleep.

I've tried massaging the area, but it doesn't help. Acetaminophen doesn't help.

Bitter cold and I'm buried in snow again! What happened to spring? The Easter bunny's gonna have to wear snow boots. Is it warm and beautiful where you are? I'd love happy pictures. Hope you're doing well...

Hi my friend...love, love the precious picture. Certainly looks like Spring

but like you in reality, there is snow on the ground...They are calling it

Spring Snow lol

I'm sorry to hear about the pain you are going through. Could be weather

change related but a call to the doc may be necessary for you to get the peace

of mind and body. ]

Might not know how to send pictures but sending happy thoughts.

Feel better soon NBB. :) xx

Thank you Agora. I love it too! I never realized Cadbury has an annual contest for their rep. So many cute pictures.

I just noticed I've got digestive problems this morning. I wonder if there could be a connection? Maybe evening prunes for magnesium and potassium could help. What do you think?

NBB you caught me off guard, I was thinking about the Cadbury Eggs trying to

figure out what flavors they are...Sorry I got off track. x

I'm not sure about magnesium but since I was very low on Potassium, my doctor

suggested a Banana a day, V8 Low Sodium veg juice, Pears have a lot of potassium.

I kinda mix all these fruits including pineapple (not V8 in my yogurt shake.

I have a hard boiled egg during the day. I also keep prunes on hand but have never

taken them before bed but rather when getting up in the morning with a cup of

hot decaf coffee. Of course there's always Colace which works gently but you must

drink a lot of water throughout the day.

I don't know if this pain and discomfort you are having at night has anything to do

with the digestive track though. We're all different in how we experience things.

I hope you can figure this out. Your sleep is so important for pain control. :) xx

Hi.

Sorry to hear you're not good . Could it maybe be back related like sciatica? As Agora says, maybe speaking to the doctor would be helpful.

I hope this video plays and brings a smile to your face . The music fits so well.

Sending you hugs πŸ€—πŸ°

Well... my back is certainly not good. Unfortunately, the whole crew is jumping on the bandwagon, so there are lots of possibilities.

The video does play! Aww! Oh my! Adorable. The volume was off on first play and I didn't even notice it. I went back after rereading your comment, and you're right. It's perfect.

It's snowing here too. I want flowers before June this year but I can't control the weather. Could the pain be neuropathy. That keeps my husband awake.

This is what the Easter bunny should wear this year. 🀣🀣🀣🀣

Oh, I'm screaming with laughter. Bad bunny. Get a clue. πŸ˜†

Yup. Neuropathy is also on the list of possibilities.

oh no. I’m sorry you are going through the weird feeling. It’s raining and cold here today.

I'm ahead of you. I've got a big mug of Earl Grey, my favorite.

African violets bring back such happy memories to me. My dear Aunt had rows and rows of them in her picture window, and taught me to use a leaf to -- miracle -- grow my own plant.

What a nice memory. I’m still up it’s after 12 am hope you are sleeping well.

I'm sorry you had another bad night. What could help today?

I got a bit of sleep, but I'm not refreshed. Too down to see up. If you come up with something, I'll try it too. No clue about self care today.
