Members shared various strategies for managing severe leg pain that disrupts sleep, with CBD oil emerging as a popular but mixed solution, some finding relief with products containing trace THC while others saw no benefit despite significant expense. Several members found practical help through positional adjustments like V-shaped or knee pillows to relieve spinal pressure, magnesium oil spray for nerve pain, collagen supplements, and prescription gabapentin for sleep. A recurring theme was the diagnostic challenge of pinpointing the pain's source, with members describing relief from steroid injections for lower back issues, waiting months for MRIs to investigate potential nerve damage, and hesitancy around bone medications like Prolia due to concerning side effects.

I found that CBD oil needs a small amount of thc to be effective for me, but it does help.
I discovered magnesium oil spray after one of my hip replacements - it helps quieten muscle and nerve pain. It is also worth asking your doctor whether you get enough magnesium in your diet (simple blood test) as this apparently helps with pain management.

I have been on CBS oil for a couple of years which really helped me sleep but I have been recently experiencing fibromyalgia symptoms so I was prescribed gabapentin to help me sleep.
