What did your doctor say when you talked to them about it?
What type of pain are you getting? Is it pain in your shoulder from laying on it? In my case, it is because I need to drop some weight (about 30 lbs or so). This can also apply to back/neck pain, esp. if you notice increased pain the more you sleep in.
Do you have a regular exercise routine? That may help (although the pain will probably increase when you start a routine -- make sure you don't over do it). Doing some stretching after exercise will help with this. Also a hot bath before bed to relax the muscles.
If you have joint pain, such as feeling pain in every bone in your feet, that goes away with a hot shower (or after getting some movement going), this is due to lack of lubrication in the joints. Some people have had luck with Glucosamine -- that's something I'm going to try shortly.
Oh, and again, if the pain seems to increase with more hours in bed, and you can't find the right mattress, then you could try breaking your sleep into two 4-hour shifts -- sleep when you get home from work, then get up at midnight, and go back to sleep between 2 and 6.
Finally, some pain is normal, but may feel a lot worse if there is any depression issues going on. But real bad pain (absent of any depression) isn't really normal -- you should talk to a doctor about it.
- adventured 13y agoIn addition to (and potentially in place of) the glucosamine for joint pain, I very strongly suggest trying this: http://www.amazon.com/Genacol-Bio-active-Collagen-Capsules-capsules/dp/B00465XUP2 http://www.amazon.com/Genacol-Bio-active-Collagen-Capsules-c... I rarely take supplements, had never had joint pain before this year, and this worked like a miracle drug for me. Had nagging runner's type ankle pain, tried all sorts of recoveries (eg eccentric exercises), this product removed maybe 2/3 of the pain and inflammation.
- ttty 13y agowell. I shouldn't have said pain, it's more like don't want to wake up pain... How I might explain it better?
- derekp7 13y agoAh, so it is a motivation issue. One way, is to have something you do in the mornings that you look forward to. For some people, it is making an enjoyable breakfast. Others, a morning jog. How about this -- if you have a TV in your bedroom, don't watch it before you go to bed -- instead, watch some of your favorite shows starting an hour or so before you have to get up. I figure if TV can cause issues getting to sleep properly, then maybe you can use that effect to help get up. After an hour of watching a couple sitcoms, you may be ready to face the day.
- ttty 13y agogreat idea. I don't watch tv nor I have one in my room, when I go to sleep I turn off all stuff. But I have to think of something that motivates me to wake up even earlier. I've tried something like this but didn't work the last time.
