Can you take whatever pain meds you're on before you get out of bed?  Keep some water beside your bed and take them when you wake up and then give yourself about 1/2 hour to relax in bed while they start working - it might help to at least cut down on that initial shock of pain.

Can anyone help me with the morning anxiety that comes from waking up every morning from a good sleep to stand up to the excruciating pain that is a shock to the system .

My GP put me on Magnesium to help boost my sleep.  You try one tablet first depending on your bowels *sorry for being descript and increase as long as you don't end up running to the bathroom.  Worked for me, finally getting better sleep.   Waking up is always a shock and brings on the helplessness.  My pain is bad enough I can't get out for swims now and walking is difficult.  Unfortunately for me my anxiety increases my pain and until I can get that under control it won't get better.   When I'm anxious with the pain my spine tightens up and compresses deteriorating discs and causes a lot more nerve pain, burning and prickly.  My son is getting married this summer as so concerned about what my condition will be by then.  Am going to start seeing a psychologist this week.  Wish me luck.

It's extremely hard being in so much pain when you are alone.  I am married but got so bad with the pain I didn't want my husband to leave the house.  This site has helped when  I can't distract with anything else.  I have been feeling extremely down for 3 months now.  Sounds like you've been trying to keep active, distraction works best.  I'm only getting in the middle of this conversation, are you on anything for the pain or the depression which sounds like your starting to have.

Hey - I also noticed that the recent weather has caused my pain to get worse.  Also started talking lycra a couple of months ago and getting used to that one (my dr put my on 300mg twice a day so getting major side effects)
