Muscle Cramps/burning When Sleeping On Left Side Posted: 05-10-06 11:38am
I have had recurring problem that seems to
occur randomly. When I sleep on my left
side I wake up in varying levels of pain.
It starts with a pain behind my left knee.
Quite often I then have a burning ache
in the muscles above and below the knee
towards the outside. On some occasions
it also occurs in my arm in the outer
muscles just below the shoulder joint
and/or around the elbow. It usually
subsides after I change positions but
sometimes lingers. Today for instance I
woke at 5 am in worse pain than ever and
it is noon and my arm and behind my knee
still have a burning sensation though not
as severe.
Could this be a nerve problem or some
strange disorder? Anyone know?
