Have you ever been in pain that kept you awake

When I was younger, I had a cyst on my tail bone and it got infected. Just having the blankets on it hurt. I had it drained, but it is comming back again. I hope to have it drained or removed before it starts to hurt again.

Two years ago I had this terrible chest pain that I could hardly breath. Everytime I inhale, it would be hard for me to exhale. I just rub my chest so the air will easily comes in and comes out from my mouth I had a hard cough as well. It happened for several nights. I can't sleep at all. I didn't know how I was able to tolerated it when it was really unexplainable pain. Until I went to my doctor after a week. The doctor told me that I was having an asthma attack.

don't remember if it ever happened, but I'm sure it did. maybe back in my school years I was always hurt here and there LOL then again I have been insomniac for a long time maybe it's not even insomniac, I just don't feel the need to sleep as much anymore

I am 8 months pregnant now and it is very painful for me to turn side by side. I always woke up when Im turning to another side, ive been suffering from backpain and it is really painful for me to turn on the side.

Mine is the headache caused by sinusitis, until now I haven't got a good sleep at night.The pain on my left side cheek and head kept me awake and I suffered this pain for a week now...too bad...

Yeah, especially if I have burned my back or neck I can tell you that that hurts like ***** when you try to sleep Sometimes I just have an headache and I can't sleep, and even the "medicine" won't help. When I have something like that, then I don't just sleep at all, but read a little bit until I just fall asleep without meaning it

I have a knee that will occasionally wake me up, at 4:30 every time, even if I have taken an anti inflammatory. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with that knee, not even a little arthritis. It gets sore from me walking funny. That is why I had the foot surgery. I find if I take big doses of the right vitamins it does not happen though. My toes sometimes hurt inside my shoes in the day time, but that would be awful in my sleep. When I worked in nursing homes we had what they called foot cradles, but they were actually more like tent frames. They kept the sheets and blankets from touching the residents' toes. Evidently foot pain can be a major problem. I hope you find some relief.

Ya, When I was in the middle school, I used to spend the night sleepless with toothache, After three months of suffering (not continuously) I got that decayed tooth removed, which is a memorable incident in my life, because the dentist was my schools ex student.

i have fibromyalgia and i am often like that at night. last tuesday, i over did it (we rearanged our kitchen) and i really felt it. i felt like i had been hit by a bus.

The only time that I can actually recall being in that much pain, was when I broke my arm. Even though I was taking the pain releivers that the doctor had prescribed to me, I would still wake up if I rolled over and hit my arm or moved my arm just the slightest amount. That was a really bad break, I had to have surgery and have 3 pins put in my arm. I wouldn't ever wish that much pain on anyone. However, I know that there are people that are in other types of pain and some pain that is a whole lot more. I hope that you will be feeling better soon and that this is not a permanent disorder.

i ever got cough. it annoys me all night. and not just me but my kids and husband were too. even i tired to cough, but i can't make my eyes close

Yes that just recently happened to me and I went to the doctor and found out it was arthritis in my neck and it was pushing on a disc in my back very painful but with the medication it is much better now!!!

I remembered when I was a young girl,I had a teethache one night.I didn't know what's wrong with me,I was just very painful,and turned over and over and couldn't fall asleep.My daddy watched me all night long and administered sedative,but unfortunately it did't work.The tooth was just very painful,I cried the whole night,I never forgot the toothache,it has a so great impact on me.

Well, as far as I remember I have gone through these situations for twice only. First, When I was in 7th Class I was suffering from unbearable stomach pain can't tell how severe it was I can still remember I didn't sleep a single moment on that night, the next day was my 'English' Exam and I have not prepared so good for it because of this pain. Surprisingly, When my results came I have got my highest marks in English. Second, started out in night when my ear started to ache I could'nt not hear anything for several minutes, Although it ended on the same night but during the period it remained I felt horrible.

Yes I have quite often, but the worse time was when I had problems with my Gall Bladder and the Doctor I had then ignored that it was the Gall Bladder, for 12 Months I suffered it until I demanded for a scan or something to be done It is the worse Pain I have ever suffered and never want to suffer again Pains in my Lungs at times can keep me awake but I have strong Pain Killers for that so eventually I will give in and take one so that I can go to sleep

Yes, I had such experience. That was when I had a toothache way back in high school. Other than that, thank God, I never experience any other pain that have keep me awake. My teeth as of the moment are all fine and well. I cannot say that I am in perfect health but I am good and well. I hope that you are feeling fine now.

Oh yes! When I was young, toothaches kept me awake plenty of times. Dentists where I lived just pulled the tooth out. That was quite while ago. Also a few years ago I developed acid reflux that created an ulcer in my esophagus. The pain was constant, day and night. I only fell asleep for a couple of hours when my body just shut down. Pain is awful!

i've had this for quite a few years now,sometimes it's just a quick niggly pain and other times it's a constant ache or pain that lasts for ages,the pains i'm getting at the moment are in my ribs,lower back,shoulders and elbows

Yes indeed I had. Years ago I found myself in excruciating stomach pain at around 3 am. I couldnt sleep at all because of the pain. I took antacids because I have had history of hyperacidity. Pain was not relieved so I had myself checked by the doctor immediately. Little did I knew that it was actually appendicitis. Im ok now. Thank goodness for friends and family that was with me all through the way.

When I was diagnosed with panic disorder the doctor gave me an anti-depressant. The first time I took the medicine it gave me an uncomfortable feeling. That night it was really hard getting myself to sleep. I tried everything to make my eyes tired. I watched TV, tried reading, and use the computer but still I wasn't tired. The medicine kept me awake the whole night.
