I know I too have a lot of pain in my legs, especially at night. I believe mine starts in my hip joints, and radiates down my legs, to my ankles. Since the pain seems to change when I roll over, a bit, i do believe it may be starting in the hips. I have started using an arthritis rub. I use the kind with the 10% Trolamine Salicylate. It helps temporarily, and sometimes allows enough relief to go to sleep. I tried this out of desperation, not believing that a rub could help, but it did provide some relief.
Sounds like you're having a rough time of it. I know its so hard, especially because the pain can be all you think about. You want to talk about it...but those around you get tired of hearing it, no matter how sympathetic they are or how much they love you. This forum helps, a lot. Hang in there! Most of us here have been through it too.
