Hip pain while laying down trying to sleep

[fibromama]

Has anyone else ever experienced this horrid problem.  I have Fibro was diagnosed 5yrs ago but have had pain since a kid.  Some night when trying to sleep I will get this horrid burning dull ache in the hip im not laying on so Ill switch to the other side and the other hip will start to hurt,,eventually they both start to hurt and I end up in odd positions trying to get comfortable.  Also when I get this I will have cold sweats Ill be really cold but sweaty.  Im wondering if it could be the weather change since it was really cold in my house this morning or what the deal is.  Has anyone else had this problem.  If so I would love to hear about it,,what it could be and how you deal with it.  Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks Rae

I just joined this frum and read your initial post and was astonished as to your symptoms. They are shockingly similar to mine and I've just brushed them off as getting older, but amazingly when I was diagnosed with fibro six yrs ago I thought my doc was a Quack and now I'm slowly realizing that maybe he wasn't after all. I thought this about the fibro answer he gave me to all of my complaints: What a Dumb A** this is just a way for the doc to get out of actually finding out what is truly going on with my body. But now I feel alot differently. Thanx!!!! Your the best!!!!

hi,,i took it for a week and a half when the side effects were fully gone and then it was like taking tylenol i felt no difference.  It was worth the wait and dealing with the effects,,the relief is wonderful.  My doc told me to give it two weeks.  Good luck and let me know what you decide.

How long did it take for the wierd feeling and side effects of Lyrica to go away when you started taking it? I guess my question is how long should you take it before deciding the effects are not going away?

I have been taking Lyrica off and on for over a year and it works great for me,,others I have heard not so good and also the effects people get when they first start taking it makes them stray away from the drug.  I had the wierd feeling,,the panick when I first started taking it but that did go away and I have not had one side effect and it works wonders for the nerve pain,,burning and all the comes along with.

G'morning all!!!

Sometimes, I use 'ICY BLUE' (gel in a jar, you can it over the counter) massage my pain area, and uses a heating pad afterwards.  It eases my pain.

About Lyrica.......please see PlateleGa;'s post and check out the link she offered on the warnings of the drug along with a long list of other anti seizure meds.

Burining sensation is a from our 'neuro' problems, I've even had my burning pain which is hot to the touch in my addomom area.

Hugs,

I do get the burning sensation on my skin when my clothes rub against my skin especially my inside arm near my elbow,,,When sleeping the tender points are being pushed on thus causing pain and its funny this just came to my/our attention lol.
