I have had my foot & leg in real bad pain & waking me several times a night which means I don't get much sleep. I do have a wedge shaped (so it increases slightly in height) & this keeps my feet off the floor. It does help a bit.
Because of bruising & swelling of the legs I was told to wear pressure stockings. I was so frustrated last night with spasms & pain etc that I got up & put the stockings on. From them on I slept straight through.
I have worn socks before & that helps but this helped heaps more as my feet go to sleep & spasm/pain too.
Hope you have some or can get them easily & they help you too.

I am sorry to hear of your foot pain as well. A good nites sleep continues to escape me. I even tried OTC sleeping pills-still woke up with pain. This is my first experience with pain associated with my MS. I do wear socks at nite too or my feet freeze snd they help with support. Any experience with Neurontin to help with MS pain?

I take 2 mg tizanidine in the middle of the night, and also half (7,5 mg) of an anti-depressant/tranquilizer at the start of the night (mirtazapine).

Do these RX's make it difficult to wake up? I have to get up really early to get ready for work and can't afford to be extra groggy in the morning. Thanks for your advice!

I had been taking neurontin 400 mg per day and it helped quite a bit. The full strength made me too groggy to function, but I found a balance between pain reduced to discomfort and no grogginess with that dose. I am now on Lyrica 200 mg per day. Again, lower dose because I can't afford to be groggy.

For me, the ones I mentioned last about 4 hours, so they don't cause me to oversleep or feel groggy. Thanks to advice here, I avoid taking much of the tizanidine during the day, because people say it can make you sleepy.

Thanks for the awesome advice everyone! I have my yearly MRI and visit coming up and I will be sure to ask questions about these meds you mentioned. Hopefully I will find some relief and sleep without waking up in pain.
