Hi,

I have been diabetic for 15 years and experianced my first siezure 3 weeks ago. imiediately after my siezure I was experiancing some pain right in the middle of my back. I went to the ER where they took some Xrays and did a cat scan as well. They said nothing was wrong and the pain I felt was normal due to the high stress on the muscles. They gave me some pain killers and away I went.

Now it is 3 weeks later. All muscle pain in my arms and legs has gone away 2 weeks ago but this pain in my back remains. I guess I shouldn't call it pain because it varys in degree of tolerance, let me explain. I go to bed around 10pm every night and between 2:30am and 3:00am I wake up with intense pain in the center of my back. It's so regular I can almost set my alarm clock by it. When I wake up, I get up and walk around, then I sit up on the couch sitting straight up. Since I only develope the pain when I sleep laying down, I spend the rest of the night sleeping sitting up : (.
The rest of the day, the pain is nothing more than a discomfort, very light and does not affect my daily life.

The only other thing that still seems to be wrong with me since the siezue is an upper chest discomfort when I sneeze. When I take a deep breath before sneezing I get this discomfort that feels like it's just about to turn into an intense pain, then I sneeze and everything is fine. Not sure if this is somehow related. But I think it's more of a ribcage issue.

So here I am spending 5hrs a night sleeping, till intense back pain wakes me up, then I move around and sit up till the pain goes away enough for me to continue sleeping in a sitting position.

Not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions?
