Hi, And Thanks For Helping. :) Every Night When I

Hi, and thanks for helping. :)
Every night when I am in bed, the front of my legs ( bottom) hurt. Sharp pain. Real Sharp!! Last night the pain was so intense, I put pain patches on my legs. Interesting my legs do not hurt like this during the day. This has come on in the past two weeks. A month ago, I was hospitalized for most of a week due to chest pain and problems breathing. NOT my heart, in fact I was taken off heart meds. My gastro doctor found a hernia but do not want to operate because size is not large enough. Other than these facts, I am the same as I was before entering the hospital. I'm 72 years old, active, average weight, 5" 2" and still working from home. The top part of my back, across my shoulder blades, hurts and takes my breath away. arent' I a case for your record books? Thanks
