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

How can so many of us have the same symptoms and some so-called educated people cannot recognize that fibro is a real disease? For my hips: (1) arnica gel is non-prescription and a pain reliever, only feeling going on is possibly cold if the room is cold; (2) Pennsaid is a prescription liquid anti-inflamtory, also cold going on **note: one of those "educated" people told me that fibro is not inflamatory and that med if for arthrititis but hey, it works** (3) massage with or w/o meds preferably by someone other than yourself who has warm hands.
Question: Anyone get knots in shoulders? How to deal? Also, my md won't give pain meds, how to cope w/ just tylenol?

The pain your shoulders and back are called trigger points. Where the muscles spasm an d contract into a hard knot. I've had trigger point injections, using a steroid and a local anaesthetic. This helped for about 6 months.

Hi hoping you are still on here. I have been experiencing hip pain for some time. I've been blaming it on golf and old-age and overweight. Was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in the spring. Hip pain has become intolerable just this week having a hard time using stairs sleeping getting in and out of my vehicle this is awful. After reading these posts I'm feeling a little calmer I tried Lyrica for a couple of days but it made me nauseous and dizzy so now they've given me something else just wondering how you are doing and what you are taking now I need sleep desperately and I have never experienced this kind of pain right down into the arch of my foot my inner thigh my outer hips. I'm tossing and turning all night long and not getting any sleep I've about had enough just thought I'd ask how you were doing and what you're doing for the pain. Many thanks in advance for a reply thank you

Hi K2kraky.

Fibromama hasn't posted in over 6 years, from a fast check I just did.
It was very kind of you to reply, but there's a good possibility she won't
answer.

Perhaps, you would like to start fresh with a new thread if you have any questions and concerns about Fibromyalgia, so that your post will be on the top.

Best wishes.
Niko
