Good morning folks,
Seeking advice. For four weeks or so now I’ve suddenly developed night time lower back pain. It is really hindering sleep and I wake early and have to get up as no matter what position I try it won’t ease. Within half hour or so of being up it vanishes, until I go back to bed at night when back it comes.
it isn’t our mattress as it only started suddenly one night a few weeks ago. Earlier this week I also had a drenching night sweat, but only the one thus far. I’ve not had any sweats for many months, so was surprised.
Anyway, I am once again wondering if this back pain is something I need to bother my team with? I’m getting aching discomfort in my right leg too, but sporadically but no numbness.
Many thanks in advance and I really hope you are all doing OKAY through this current situation.
best wishes,
Justin
Hi Justin JustinB........ oh the body does make this living thing hard work at times then you add in NHL - and this can go off the scale.
Over my many years I have had lots of aches, pains and sweats come and go and on the whole none were linked to my NHL.
But as always I had to call these things into my team and if they are not concerned that this was NHL related I was sent to talk with my GP as this could be another type of medical issue - and indeed this was true on a number of occasions. So do call this in.
The one question I would ask is are you keeping yourself active in that your muscles are all getting some activity? I say this as during times of inactivity especially during the winter and now with the restrictions we have on us I find my aches and pains get worse and sleeping can be a problem.
The other thing I find is when I dont drink enough water (2-3Lts a day) I get some kidney pain especially when in bed!!.
So this could be nothing or something to check it in.
We are doing great.
Keep safe.
