"WHY DOES MY JOINT PAIN HURT WORSE AT NIGHT?"

An Uncomplicated Answer From Dr. Davis

Increased joint pain at night is more than just a cruel joke that nature

plays on us, although it often feels that way; especially when you are

lying there with endless time to think about the predicament you are in. 

Your pain is keeping you awake and you have a full day ahead of

you. The more you try to sleep the more frustrated you become. It’s

going to be a hard morning. 

If only you could find a solution and get some

sleep. 

Part of the irony of your painful night is that it is often brought on

by adrenal exhaustion. You are literally so tired that your body

begins to break down, particularly in your joints. 

Adrenal exhaustion, however isn’t the same as doing a half day of yard work, it is exhaustion brought on

by stress. And when you are stressed your adrenal glands release cortisol, leading to more insomnia. 

Your adrenal glands are also part of your body’s natural anti-

inflammatory response, leading to increased inflammation (and pain)

in your already painful joints. 

To continue this vicious circle, when chronic joint pain robs you of your sleep,

it affects your mood and your brain’s ability to deal with pain. Hitting the

sheets at night isn’t a welcome respite to your day but instead another chore you

need to do well. 

It seems ridiculous to have performance anxiety when it

comes to getting enough sleep but that’s exactly what happens when

joint pain robs you of sleep’s regenerative potential.

Enough of the “why,”here is what you can do.

The above is just a few pieces of the night-time pain puzzle. However, if

you think your situation is ironic, wait until you hear the solution. 

Step one to reducing your joint pain at night is to get more quality sleep.

 (Like that wasn't the obvious

answer).

There are however, some steps you should right now to take to

make this more possible.

If you are falling into the same uncomfortable bed that you failed to make this morning you are probably

setting yourself up for another sleepless night. Make sure you have

comfortable sheets and pillows. 

Also make sure your room is the right temperature. Find the right

position to get your best sleep. For most people that would be

sleeping on your side. 

Sleeping on your back is usually not a good idea. 

Sleep is also much more than being unconscious. Your various sleep cycles

determine how rested you will feel in the morning. If you spend your entire night in stage 1 non-REM sleep, you will face the

morning feeling like you just ran a marathon. You will be sore and still stressed. 

Experts all agree, 25% or more REM sleep per night is critical to

reaping the benefits of restorative sleep. 

Drugs aren’t the best answerThe problem with medicating your

pain, is that most drugs and especially alcohol affect your body’s ability to achieve REM or restorative

sleep. 

Yet the pain is keeping you from getting sleep in the first

place! 

Medications can be very tempting, especially if the pain is severe but they don’t make a good long-term solution,

for the reasons above. That vicious circle at this point is becoming downright

brutal unless you can find a solution. 

In my practice, helping patients deal with joint pain and sleepless

nights is one of the most important things I do. To put it mildly, I find

that a pain-free restful sleep is one of the best medicines available. 

Helping my patients achieve this “Nirvana” without drugs makes all

the difference in their lives. 

here are actually many solutions to your pain and sleepless nights that don’t

involve medications. Anti-inflammatory foods included in an anti-inflammatory diet can give you the relief you never

thought possible and still help you get a good night’s sleep. 

Many alternative treatments such as Chiropractic care, hypnotherapy, bio

feedback, yoga, and even acupuncture can help your body deal with pain

without negatively affecting your ability to get the sleep you need.

The opposite of a vicious circle is a “virtuous circle.” Both circles or cycles, as they are sometime called, are self-

perpetuating. The best way to break the vicious circle you are currently enduring

is to replace it with a virtuous circle. 

These non-drug alternatives make it easier to achieve this virtuous circle and enjoy night time once

again. 

Waking up refreshed in the morning is one of the greatest feelings in the world. You can have that again. I promise.
