I have no problem getting off to sleep at night, mostly because of my fatigue, but after two hours, I am awake with unbearable hip and bottom pain. It's both sides when I'm lying down. I don't have this particular pain during the day. I wondered if anyone else experiences the same thing and if anyone has tips to STAY asleep at night??

@A MyFibroTeam Member, have you tried a thick (at least 3 inches) memory foam mattress topper? Before I got an actual memory foam mattress, the only thing that helped was the topper. With fibromyalgia, most mattresses are just too hard to lay on. It's ouch, ouch, ouch all night long. I began to feel like the "princess and the pea" - the fairy tale.
I rub magnesium oil into legs and feet and hips and it does help I'm similar and can some nights wake as my hips dislocate regularly... The magnesium oil assists with pain and sleep and then apply heat and meditate they all really help me... I just use a guided meditation on my phone and it helps to relax me enough to go back to sleep.
I got a Tempurpedic adjustable bed and sleep with my head and feet inclined. This helps a lot with hip & back pain.
This is a hard one, and I have this problem several times a week. I like Natrols melatonin time released.5mg. The important thing for me is that it's time released. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I wish you the best.
I wake about every 2 hrs. As if laying in one position starts hurting. on my back, back and hips hurt. Laying on either side, my shoulder and hip hurts.
