Yeh, I know how you feel. Took my meds 2 hours ago and still very little relief.

So sorry to hear about your fall, It's certainlt no laughing matter.

You have a right to moan, most of us are using this web site cause we're all in the same boat, so go on have a good old moan.

Hugs x

Been there and got the tshirt......You have my utmost sympathy. I'm very "clumsy" at times and I fall /stumble/ bump into things frequently. I bruise very easily too, so I understand. I hope you manage to get some good sleep.....try arnica gel on the hurting bits you can reach, I swear by it. Lots of healing vibes xxxx

My heart goes out to you....lying awake is unbearable, not to mention the pain. The only thing takes my mind of it is music, gentle and soft, maybe not your thing, but i was amazed at how it helped me relax. I have to use earphones so i don't waken hubby! Gentle hugs, Jean x

It often helps a lot helps to moan ~ so just go right ahead! I recently have the insomnia and the falling, and have had chronic pain for many years ... but I know most others have some or all of these, too, so we all empathize with you and send much care and concern along, fibro10!

Hoping you find some relief from all, very soon ... BK

If it doesn't ease up I would get checked for a trapped nerve. Heat packs and gels and creams can help on top of pain killers. Also sleep with two soft pillows down your left side if it's comfy.

Hope it gets better soon

My heart goes out to you too, lying awake in pain is soul destroying. I have been using biofreeze gel (you can now get it in a quick drying spray - although gel seems to be better - so you don't have to wake up sleeping/snoring partners!). It is med free and really fast acting. My physio told me, if I sleep on my side to have a pillow in-between my legs to stop hip and leg aches, and one under my arm to stop my shoulder hurting. it works quite well. Although, I have got a bit tangled up some nights! I am just looking at yoga breathing and meditation cds to try to alleviate stress.

take care x
