I wake up with pain in my right hip and lower back, the pain is so bad it wakes me up at night. Help!?I wake up at night with horrible pain in my right hip, lower back. What can I do to relieve the pain? I get the pain out of the blue. Right now, I've had it for 2 weeks and I'm so exhausted. I'm unable to function this way since it hurts to move. The doctor can't find anything wrong but something has to be wrong since it hurts so bad. He gave me Lyrica but I'm without relief. It didn't even help one bit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Do you sleep on your side? That might be a cause.
When my back is giving me a problem I put a thin bed pillow on the mattress across where my back goes and stay flat on my back to sleep. Two Excedrin before bed and this works great.
Have someone massage asparcream into your back or a menthol rub cream to relieve the pain. It works wonders.

I had the same problem and my doctor couldn't find anything either. My boss is a strong advocate of chiropractic and suggested I go (I'd never seen one before and believed the nasty stories I'd heard).
Well, I put it off for a long time until I was so sleep deprived and in pain, I finally went. The chiropractor was amazing! First, he insisted that I get an x-ray, and after going over it, explained that I had a subluxation (nerve pinch) between vertebrae and then he gently adjusted my hip and lower back. I slept through the night for the first time! After that, I went two times a week for a while, then once a week, and now I go when I feel the first twinges of discomfort. As a bonus, I haven't had a migraine since I began going (I used to have to take time off work due to them, and I was on Fiorinal with 1/2 gram of codeine!).
Definitely ask your co-workers, family or friends if they use a chiropractor or check the internet for a list of them in your city and get adjusted! It made all the difference for me!
Wishing you good health!

My mom had the same pain you described and she had a herniated disk. Did they check for that? It takes an MRI to see it. If so, then maybe the answer is simply to get a new mattress, one that takes stress off the pressure points, like a temper pedic

as all the people above mentioned it could be any of them problems, or you could have a very tight muscle from where you been sleeping a certain way and it tightened up so much it cant do nothing and therefore it pulls your hip out of alignment thus makin the pain worse..
My advice would be go see a chiropractor first and if he cant find nothing at all, aside from muscle issues, ask him to refer you to a massage therapist..it will take more than 1 visit if you see a MT but it will help you in the long run if you do not have any of the problems as mentioned above.
