5? 😲😲 I am with you there, buddy. Pain is a serious obstacle to sleep. Oftentimes, I cannot find any comfortable position to sleep and the pain itself, regardless of position, keeps me awake. My biggest issues are my shoulders, upper back, and neck (but I have hip). For a person with Apnea who should be trying to sleep on her side, that sucks. I could load myself up with a lot of painkillers but it's not a good idea and oftentimes it doesn't even help. I take a small dose of a psych med, Seroquel (which I don't like) and Clonazepam, a muscle relaxer, to knock me out or I would be repositioning my neck and adjusting my shoulder position all night. It does not always work, but most nights it helps. Of course, those meds contribute to Hypopneas 🙄🙄 so I tried cutting back on the Clonazepam last night. I think it's the risk factor of you being male that is the problem. 😂 I hope you understand my humor because sometimes people don't and think I'm insulting them. 🤐
