my fiance has an issue with her shoulder.  What I usually do is have her stretch it out (or I do it for her if it hurts too bad) Put a heating pack on it to relax the muscles.  \nIf some one can message it for you that would be of help to you as well.  \nWhat you also might want to try is cream with st. johns wart or hot pepper.  i know it sounds crazy but both have anti-inflammitory properties and pain relieving properties as well.  One thing you could try is to mash a hot pepper.  take a cold cream, hand lotion or the like.  Take the mashed pepper and add some a little at a time til its pink. (not red because it will irritate the skin due to the fact that its too strong for our skin to handle in that amount.) and rub the now pink cream along the effected area.  \nSt Johns Wart added to almond or olive oil also works great.  Add st johns wart ot the oil.  let stand for a few hours strain and apply.  make sure when you use this method you completely relax the area so it can work.  I hope this helps you out.

There are many herbal remedies that are great for this.  The strongest is Melatonin.  It comes in 1mg or 3mg tablets.  You should try the 1mg first, because when I take the 3, I have a real hard time getting out of bed in the morning. \n\nMy Homeopathic Doctor gave me Theanine Serene w/Relora and it works quite well.  It is a calming complex and helps me relax when I am stressed out.\n\nThen there's Valerian Root and Kava Kava.  These both have calming effects.  Also Calms Forte is very good.  \n\nAnyway, if you don't want to take herbal meds, you can try deep breathing exercises.  What you do is take a deep breath slowly into the lower portion of your lungs.  Your abdomen should rise as you do this, NOT your chest.  Breath in to the count of five then breath out to the count of five.  Also, it helps me if I turn the radio on very softly.  Just loud enough to drown out the crickets and cars passing by.

Apparently people don't know about fibro and herniated disks.  Sometimes physical therapy makes it worse.  Try not to do to much at once, take frequent rest periods, even a nap in the afternoon will help.  A heating pad should help ease the pain some.  Ask the doc for some muscle relaxers.  How are you sleeping?  If not well, ask him if there is anything you can do to help you sleep better.  I have a cup of nighty nite tea, that helps me relax.  Concentrate on relaxing your muscles when they hurt.  When you hurt, a person tends to tense up and causes more pain.  Take a nice hot bath if that helps you relax....

if it is the first time thing, then you can consider things like tylenol or ibuprfen along with some rest. see a doctor if sypmtoms persist or worsen, hopefully nothing big, good luck

It's a long process I am going through the same thing.  Take a lot of IB profen it's good for inflammation.  Go to the gym and work your quads, eat bannanas.  Lay on your back put your hurt leg in the air and try to bend it down as much as possible.  It's going to hurt you have to try to get over the pain.  Every time you bend it try to make it go lower and lower.  This will help but you have to work with it and do everything your told to do.

Those doctors aren't very helpful sometimes, are they?  (  :\n\nYou're certainly not alone.  If it's serious enough that you can't sleep, then that in itself can be a real problem.  There are medications that MIGHT help, such as beta blockers (like propranolol and metoprolol), but these all have a bunch of other effects which it would be better to avoid if you can.\n\nSo you might want to try some lifestyle changes.  Chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, and exercise can all be triggers that increase the frequency of your arrythmias.  Unfortunately, so can stress - so worrying about whether you can get to sleep will unfortunately only make it harder to get to sleep!\n\nDeep breathing will help you relax, and some people report that magnesium, calcium, and fish oil supplements can help too.\n\nIt's worth a try, anyway.  If none of those work, you might at least get some consolation from others with similar problems.  The first link below is to a forum that seems to have a number of people with PVCs and PACs.  Hope that helps!

drink orange juice,get a lot of sleep,chicken soup might help, don't eat or drink anything cold and try to ask your local doctor for any ideas or prescriptions!

Try to sleep in a wood board instead of a mattress, take some tylenol, and avoid lifting, bending or any movements that can agravate the situation, you can also use a warm pad in the affected area, normally the pain will go away in a very short time..☻

Try these if you want to fall asleep faster:\n\n1.  Exercise\nMake sure you exercise enough and stay physically active.  If you don't move a muscle all day long, you have too much energy left at the end of your day.  Do some aerobic sports at least every other day, each lasting 30 minutes or more.\n\n2.  Stress management\nToo much stress obviously help create insomnia.  Make sure you are not annoyed by or concerned with anything when you are in bed.  Relax yourself before going to bed.  If necessary, some "soft" relaxing exercise helps. (or even moderate stretching will do)\n\n3. Hot drink other than coffee\nIf possible, take a cup of hot or warm drink like skimmed milk.  Avoid drinking coffee starting from six hours (or more) before you go to bed.\n\n4. Body temperature\nI advise taking a warm shower before going to bed.  When you're sleeping your body temperature drops a little bit.  So the shower help create that "drop" because after the shower your body is slightly "hotter".  Make sure you feel a comfortable temperature at where you sleep. Too cold: add a blanket; too warm: show your bare feet or even your lower legs.

first advice, don't take medicines by yourself\n-if you're not tired/exhausted enough, do sth physical\n-if you're too nervous & sth that keeps on your mind, try relax by aromatherapy thingy/milk/hot bath etc\n-if you're insomnia is prolonged, see a doc instead

Physical activities like jogging, kickboxing anything to vent the physical pain then a good cry a good meal and a great sleep.\nIf these things do not help you the easy fix would be smoking a joint i guess...but that is only temporary.  Also breathing deeply 10 times will make you feel a whole lot better.  I really hope this helps you because I know what it feels like and it is no picnic.  I found all these things make a difference.

get some icy hot patches. And get  some one to give you a massage. It also depends what kind of bed your sleeping in..Make sure its not that soft. Cause then your back is not stright and that will cause more pain

Try taking like Motrin or Motrin pm, it helps to relax you. And when you go to sleep don't try  forcing yourself to sleep. Just try to meditate. It does work sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep too. Just take deep breaths and slow your breathing, it should help to make you tired and then you can go to sleep. Make sure the lights are off, it will help too. Hope this helps

i too need help at bedtime to fall asleep, everyone thinks it's a big joke when you're laying there wide awake for hours, it's not fun,  i'm so sorry for you,  i take 2 xtra strength Tylenol, a half gravol, (gravol will help you sleep) and one to two nerve pills, under my tongue every night, it works, you twist n turn an try so hard but just can't get to sleep, it's awful, good luck to you, hope something works for you.

Hot water bottle (or purring cat) sometimes helps.  If I'm not in horrible pain, a walk seems to work wonders, too.  I find coffee and chocolate makes it worse on the first couple of days, which makes me sad, because I live on those basic foods.  *lol*\n\nHopefully you'll feel better soon.

put a bowl by your bed rub some Vix on your chest and under your nose and take a nap then when you wake up drink some sprite or mabey even coke(not water it will not help! you need a fizzy drink) and go back to bed. if you are not tired watch some television but be sure you have a bowl by you. \n\nHope you feel better!\n\nChloe
