Can't sleep muscle pain leg

[[Co...]]

Hey guys it's 2am I can't sleep my left leg hurts it started in thigh but is now really down the entire left side of leg.  It's really freaking me out.  Is this normal.  Any tips to make it better, any idea when this will go away?

I'm so sorry, do you have a heating pad?

I know this sounds a bit simple but I use biofreeze to distract me. It helps me fall asleep. I apply it on my feet and kegs for nerve pain and skin burning and on my pain areas like my shoulder.

From what I've read around the forum, this is pretty common so try not to be afraid of it, I like the suggestions you've been given, I hope they work for you.

Is it really tight and heavy as well?

[[Co...]]

Ya it is.  Almost like I just did heavy weightlifting but I know it's not from that..

I used magnesium cream for my severe leg and feet cramping during acute.  Helped.

Thank you.  I'll see if I can pick some up.

I took hot baths with Epsom salts (magnesium  sulfate) for my tight, cramping leg muscles. It really helped. I did this nightly for about a year and a half. I know how awful this is.

 

I also went to a physical therapist. She massaged my tight muscles, which really helped, and gave me some stretching exercises to do which helped limber up those tight muscles in between PT sessions.

Hope you get some relief.
