Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi all,I want to share that since losing the weight this past year or so, I am waking up almost every hour during the night because my hips don't have padding now, lol and also other joints hurt so I have to shift positions. This keeps me awake at least 15 minutes ea time and I really don't sleep well. My pain management doctor spoke to me about this and recommended I take a muscle relaxer before bed and it has made such a difference that now I am rested for the first time in ages. He prescribed Flexeril, 1-3 each night. At first I took just one and then increased but found I did need the three. I don't have the hang over in the morning like many sleep meds or the sleep so deep I feel drunk when I get up in the night by myself.I never thought of using a muscle relaxer for this but wanted to share it is working wonders for me.Wishing everyone a good day with love and smiles, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
