I do find that I can tolerate my pain better if I take my pain meds and move around more, as long as I don’t overdo it! Especially when I reach for things in the supermarket—it really kills my neck and shoulders! It’s when I’m in bed at night that I start having issues with pain and my restless leg syndrome—-a condition my sister, niece, daughter and I got from my mom!! I have side effects from gabapentin so I had to stop taking this for my RLS! I do take my pain medication at bedtime and it helps for a few hours…but the RLS is the main reason I don’t always sleep well. ☹️
