Hip Replacement :: Irritable Legs At Night In Bed
Mar 21, 2016
I've posted a few days ago about not been able to sleep at night. I find it difficult to sleep on my back and cannot keep my legs flat so I tend to sleep with either my operated leg s knee raised or both knees raised.
Not sure why this is happening but I read until really tired and then try to sleep. As soon as I lay in my sleeping position my legs start moving about almost uncontrollably. They can't find a comfy position I have to readjust pillows etc and it can be hours by the time they stop.
Being sleep deprived is exhausting I'm now on day 10. I've tried sleeping tablets but I still go through the same procedure with my legs.

I have had injections in my back because i have disc problems. i used to suffer from cramp occasionally but after the above procedure in Oct 2014 the night leg cramps increased in both legs, which leave me limping for a day or so. I have started to massage both my legs with any oil though preferably olive oil or black seed oil and i have noticed a great improvement. i have not suffered from cramps since i started doing this every night.

Anyone had them or getting them? I get up to three a night, very intense and obviously wake me up. Just wondering how many weeks do they last, didn't have them in hospital.
Also got groin pain, think it may of come from the hip abduction exercise, the one where you take your leg out to the side. Have had pain every time I have tried that one. I have not done it today. Will that pain eventually go too.

I posted in epilepsy earlier. I couldn't find the sleep boards. I am suspicious I have epilepsy but I wanted to see if anyone else has experience with this. I have severe sleep myoclonus that occurs every night all night. It causes me and jerk and I usually see a flash of light and hear a clicking sound. This occurs over and over so I hardly ever sleep. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I always get stiff legs/weak legs (it is hard to describe) when i walk past people.
I know they probably aren't even looking at me but if there's a chance they could be, I find it hard to put one foot in front of the other and walk normally.
Does anyone else get this?

I am 37yo and suffering from IBS for 5 years. I did all the tests you can possibly imagine...but nothing. The gastrologists doctors (2 of them) told me to try Nortylin/Nortriptyline, saying it should help. Anyone tried it ? any results ? I am a bit reluctant to that till now...Thanks a lot

a) What has caused my condition?
b) How can I cure it rather than just keep it at bay?
The experts don't seem to have much idea.
It all started about 3 years ago with pain in my descending colon and then in my groin area. At the same sort of time I became sensitive to coffee, alcohol spicy foods, fats, vinegar and lemon juice.
My GP has given me peppermint oil and Pregabalin. Pregabalin is good for general neuropathic pain associated with diabetes but much less effective on ibs pain.
ibs does get worse if you are stressed about something.
I have had a Colonoscopy, several X rays and a CT scan and you see absolutely nothing.

This is my 2nd episode of hyperthyroidism, the first was 3 years ago and was controlled with meds and then I was discharged with no further action. I started to feel ill again just before Christmas and knew straight away what it was. This time my GP prescribed meds and also ultrasound. The results have come back and although they can't see any nodules it apparently shows some changes so I now have to go back to endocrinologist I saw 3 years ago. As I say I am feeling a lot better but am still very irritable and bowels seem to be getting worse! Although my GP hasn't given me details he says my levels are nearly normal but wants me to continue with dose until I see specialists. Anyone else having the bowel problems?

Some years ago I Poisoned and had nausea and because of a special stress I sense that I have nausea all times. For example, When I want travel or use bus and visit new places alone then I am nauseated and it is so hard for me. I visited a Psychiatrist and he Prescribed some pills like Sertraline, Fluoxetine, Alprazolam and...I used these Pills and I'm better but when I discontinued these pills my behaviors backed too many years ago. What is my Sickness? Recently, I visited another doctor and did Urea breath test and Doctor told me I have Gastritis but can it my Sickness? If it is my Sickness then why when I use Sertraline, Fluoxetine, Alprazolam then I'm better? Can Gastritis cause nausea?

As a Medical Secretary this has been a difficult situation to deal with. It has taken me 8 years to sort out. It started with reflux that smelled of poo. That was the only symptom. It took 7 years to get a hiatus hernia and an infection which they never even tested for.
But, even after all that it still kept happening. I have 2 sisters with coeliac disease. GP would not test properly for that. In the end I went on a gluten and sugar free diet. It WORKED. No more embarrassed situations and I should get my first kiss when I pluck up the courage. Eight years I have struggled.

Terrible bout of IBS for about a week after eating one of my trigger foods. I used to love chocolate but can't eat it now because of IBS. I had a meltdown last week and ate a few Snickers bars. I ended up with diarrhea for a week and now I have severe hemorrhoids. Has anyone else experienced anything like this and any suggestions to calm them down? I've been using Preparation H but I'm still in pain.

Help! Is there anyone out there who is vegetarian, has been through the FODMAP diet and now doesn't know what order to add things into their diet? If you have any advice please tell me, I am allergic to beans and pulses and have a b.m.i of 19 only, I must make it slightly higher, but don't know where to start. I have no problem with wheat or lactose, but do have little fruit in my diet, very few green veg and lots of the other food groups, I feel my diet is wrong, I'm deficient in lots of things I feel. Help, you may all know better than my doctors!

I have suffered for the past 2 years with bad stomach cramps , diarrhea , and bad wind . this would occur every week and mostly every day . i went through the doctors and they just saw it as "oh you have Ibs there really isn't a cure just deal with it ". i knew for a while that it really wasn't just ibs but something more , i started looking at food allergies and decided to take a food intolerance test. They found out i had a really bad yeast allergy!!??. Does anyone suffer with yeast allergies?? i have started a new diet cutting out yeast and trying to cut down on sugary foods ( this is impossible!) however i do feel a lot better and i have been taken medicine to kill of the bacteria in the gut.

To make a long story short, all my crazy symptoms started back on 09/2013. (insomnia, night sweats, joint pain, shaky legs, shivering, digestive problems)
After many tests and ruling out Crohn's and Colitis, I was diagnosed with IBS.
I spent more time doing some research and had some additional tests done.
The cause was determined to be yeast overgrowth, mainly in the colon area. I also have oral thrush.
I finally got my sleep back to normal after 6 months and my bowel movements are pretty good as well. I got rid of my reflux and Gastritis, thank god.
I'm trying to finish off with the yeast and say goodbye to IBS after 8 months.
So far was on natural antifungals such as Caprylic Acid, Berberine and a few other things.
My diet is super strict as well. No Wheat, Gluten or sugars.
I'm to the point where I'm almost beating this 100%, but the damn yeast infection is very very stubborn. It hits me in both sides of the colon. (Mainly irritation, the inflammation is gone)
My report showed the yeast is sensitive to the following drugs:
1. Amphotericin
2. Fluconazole
3. Itraconazole
4. Ketoconazole
5. Nystatin
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these. I'm about to ask my Doctor to prescribe one and see if it can help me get to 100%.
Been also doing coffee enemas, which are great. (I thought it was crazy in the beginning, but soon found out otherwise)
Right now I'm on anti-fungals, probiotics, B-complex, Vitamin C and little bit of HCL after meals.

I posted something few days ago but I didn't really ask this question and has been nagging at me for months now. I did make an appointment for my GP on Wednesday. I wanted to get to the bottom of my symptoms because it has been at least 3 months.
Anyways I was wondering how many you who have IBS suffer from frequent urination? and sorry to be explicit how does your bladder feel?
I don't have any pain and I don't wake up in the middle of the night to go to the washroom. I just get this pressure feeling in my abdomen/pelvic region and it feels like I have to pee. I tried to experiment cause lets face it going to the washroom every hour to hour and a half is annoying so I've been trying to not go washroom until at least 2-3 hours. It is uncomfortable but I can do it. I even lasted the whole night when the last time I went to the washroom was at 8pm and I slept at 1 am. I am worried that this might be ovarian cancer, even though I am only 18, and yes I do know cancer happens at all ages but at the same time it is a slim chance. Also I'm worried since it is going on with my colon symptoms which I have been told from other posts that it seems like IBS. I also worry that this is diabetes though the only symptom I get is this; I am not excessively thirsty. I also woke up two days ago with lower dull back pain that is still lasting, feels like an annoying muscle ache.
I also would like to ask if I should demand my GP to do the necessary tests? if I should, how should I do it? Last time I went to her in September I only had constipation symptoms and she told me to up my fiber intake and come back in a month if it persists. I didn't because I wanted to observe it since in the summer I kept coming back to her for a persistent cough that I thought was lung cancer. I was afraid that she would dismiss my worries like she did that time by taking at least two months to request an x-ray of my chest even though I asked for it the first time because it was "unnecessary" (it was because the cough did go away in the beginnings of september but still if nothing was working from antibiotics to asthma inhaler I would think I would try to see if anything was wrong internally).

Anyone have this problem that when your stomach starts to cramp you feel like you are going to throw up or pass out? I am wondering if it is my anxiety doing that for fear of the pain or if it is associated with IBS?
Any suggestions on how to control this feeling and I am already on anxiety meds but for the past week my anxiety has been really high
