Default Leg....stop keeping me up!

Well, here I am up again because of leg pain. Not to mention my husband's snooring, but that is another story all together.
I know its part FM, part Sciatica, part SI joint and 100% a pain in the rump, but does it have to bother me every night? Knowing what it is and what it isn't really doesn't affect the level of pain. Ironically, some docs seem to think so.
As I sit here, I even know why it is bothering me so much. Going to the gym! When I went this morning, I usually go on the treadmills, but they were all being used. So I went to my second and last resort, the full seat stationary bike. Well, I was only on it for 15 minutes, but it was just enough for the pain to set in. I knew I was in for it half way through the 15 mins. but I didn't want to just have walked in, just to walk out.
I have quite a bit of weight to loose and the doctors keep telling me to do so (loose the weight, get exercise etc etc etc), but every time I try, this happens. How can I do what the doctors want me to do when it causes pain?
Any suggestions besides amputating my leg???
