At the end of my rope (lack of sleep)

As title says - at the end of my rope from lack of sleep. About 4-5 months in, not frozen yet. Bilateral. Still getting zingers and a lot of pain on outside of shoulder, biceps forearm. Movement helps during the day. Sleep is a major issue. Currently taking 2 Aleve and half a THC/CBN/CBD gummy at night before bed. I sleep 1.5-2 hours then wake. Sometimes have to get up and walk around or put heating pad on. If I'm lucky, fall back asleep for another hour or so. Rinse, repeat. Not sure if I am waking from pain or being uncomfortable sleeping in one position on my back (I am a side sleeper). Always my biceps and forearms that hurt in the night. Have not managed to find a pillow placement that helps (seems to make it worse tbh). I am waiting to see sports med about possible cortisone. Physio thinks I am almost frozen due to decreased lack of ROM over past month. I am just so over this. Sorry, wanted to vent and see if anyone has magically found a better way to sleep lately (have searched posts). Actually, probably just venting. LOL! Thanks for listening.
