Thanks for replying . I have following suggestions for you.
1. Always sleep on one side and also get up from bed side on. If you want to sleep on back than keep three pillow below knee. If your leg are bend at knee than pain will be less.
2. Discuss with your doctor and take Tablet Pregabalin and Methylcobal daily. It should be taken just before sleep as it can cause some giddiness.
