Sleep trouble
 

Tos on the side I sleep on causes problems with sleep. Does a pain management dr. prescribe sleep pills? Lunesta has helped me in the past which I recieved from family dr.

a good pain management doctor will help you find a sound way to not let pain deprive you of sleep. Tell him that this is a problem and he or she should help you find a way to fix it. sleeping pills may or may not be the right answer depending on whatever else you are taking.

I have had to retrain myself to sleep on my back. I used to sleep on my sides, but the pain was too intense and it kept me up. I got a u-shaped pillow, put one under my knees and it forced me to sleep on my back. The first little while was very hard, but now I sleep better, without increasing the pain by compressing my brachial plexus further.
Mind you I often am sleepless for a lot of other reasons.
