Hi,Welcome to health care magic.You are having pain ,that is why you cannot sleep. to relieve pain analgesics (Diclofenac sodium 50 mg three times a day after meals along with omeprazole 50mg) will be helpful. Alprazolam 0.25 mg at night may also be beneficial to you. I think your query is answered.
