Hi Everyone, thanks for this group. I need your help.. I'm a 58 year old woman

with hip pain. My pain is on my right side and in my leg. But my biggest problem

is at bedtime. Once I lay down I can't turn over for the pain is unbearable.If I

sit up on the side of the bed then I can turn over.. I'm not getting much sleep

for this pain.. Thanks for your help..Moira

Hi Moira -

I too have hip pain on the right side. It is just terrible trying to sleep with

it. The only thing that has seemed to help me is to do as much stretching of my

legs as I can. Stretch them before going to bed especially - this really helps

me to sleep better.

I hope this helps you a little bit!

This may be old news but one night in the ER with horrible  hip pain a nurse

placed a pillow between my knees while laying on my side.  I could not believe

how much it helped.  Maybe it would help you?
