Hi everyone. I'm so glad I found this post. I am up most nights with my pain. In 2003 I broke my neck working out lifting weights. Since I have has 3 neck surgery's 2 lower lumbar surgery's. We found out 4 months ago that I have RA in 83% of my spine. 3 weeks ago today I had surgery to implant a neurostimulator devise. It is helping with the pain in my neck,shoulder and left leg but does nothing for the RA. So I'm still taking meds for that, they keep me awake.Like I needed anything else to do that. My poor husband and kids try so hard to help me, but most times there is nothing that can help. BUT I have found others on here that I can talk to in the middle of a sleepless night now. I usally work on cutting fabric when I can't sleep.
Everyone take care and have a wonderful day!!
