Hi
Cylobenzaprine is a powerful muscle relaxer and has soporific effects as well. I don’t know your medical regime, but maybe….
Regarding your left leg… if you live alone and have no one to watch you sleep, I would recommend a sleep study it could be that you are putting yourself in positions that are causing your symptoms. For example, I sometimes allow my right leg to hang off the right. Side of the bed— this can be very painful when I awaken. You could be doing something like this as you sleep. Be well, Archie

Archie , yes I have in the past but lately I try to sleep in center of bed just for that reason knowing how that felt waking up to that feeling. I feel like I am sleeping on a board. Just got a new matress and bed to downsize from a king but the queen is great size that I can get my walker right up beside bed and it more room for movement. I sleep with numerous pillows to put between my legs and support my back and shoulders . I'm sure you can relate , I can't take muscle relaxers due to so much weakness. I'd be afraid of falling , and breaking something besides my foot ( 4 bones ,but supposedly healed) it still gives me arch pain.
I have slept with those doughnut pillows only it's painful in my lumbar.
Yesterday my good right leg was showing numbness and and couldn't take a step but thank God I seen it wasn't moving before I went forward or would have been in floor face first. I just started to get up and looked down, it wasn't moving as hard as I tried , I'm really paying attention at all times bc just bc you think it's moving , it may not be due to those signals getting lost in translation to my feet.
