Hi.
My Doctor prescribed Naproxen taken with Omeprazole ( to protect the stomach lining ) is quite effective for me.
Perhaps you could speak to your Doctor and see if they can give you some pain relief which can be taken later in the day to help with the pain at night?
Sometimes I put a small cushion between my knees to get comfortable at night. There may be other people on here who can give advice regarding sleep aids. They may not work for everybody, but it is worth a try to get a decent night sleep. π
