Hi Lynn,Yes, nights are by far the worst times. Not sure any pain relief sees you through the night. Went to bed at 9. Disturbed and then in a lot of pain from around 3 until I managed to drift off again. Pain on getting up is pretty horrendous until i get moving.
Let me know what your doctor recommends for night time pain.
One think I've learnt from last time is that this is a LONG recovery.
Managed to speak to a Doc. He is changing the meds to a less stronger one so I can take it with the Ibruprofen and hopefully won't feel dizzy when I have to get up in the night. Doesn't agree with herbal remedies as he doesn't know anything about them...so will manage as I can for another week. Just been speaking to my friend and told her its not just the two of us who are having sleeping problems its all who have this op so that made her feel better. She copes by playing solitaire, suduko and a crossword on her kindle before trying to get to sleep and is restless afterwards. I take my kindle up but only read from it once so might try it again.
We both have the same hobby of dolls house miniatures and will meet up for a club evening on Wednesday so can have a one to one chat then.
