Question : hi..I get cramps and pain at my hip joints and shoulders when I lie down for sleep in the night. Because of this I am unable to sleep in the night in spite of feeling sleepy through out night. massaging at hipjoints and shoulders give some relief. also pain goes away if I do not lie down ie., if I stand or sit straight. MRI reports of Hip and Shoulders does not show abnormalities. EMG Test of nerve is also normal. Problem persists since last few months. I am a young lady of 49 years with two grown up chlidren.
