Why cannot patients sleep well during lengthening and recovery?

Edit Post

I would do external. Is internal better for sleeping? Does the insomnia come from pain or self-worrying?

Edit Post

I had internal.  Several factors.  Pain, discomfort, difficulty adjusting to new sleeping position and constantly waking up every 2 hours for no reason at all but to remind you of how tight and painful your limbs feel.

Can this be managed with pain killers ?

They will help you sleep but in my experience I always woke up two hours after taking them.

Edit Post

Yeah but pain killers should alleviate the pain completely no? I'm a not very tolerant to pain so this is something I'm afraid of.

In my experience they are better than nothing but not as good as you would think. They do make you tired though.

In the recovery you could sleep ok. The problem is during lengthening. The problem is that you doesnt move your muscles for hours so them get very tense

Where did you get your LL done?

 What type of pain meds were you on?

Are you sure you were taking enough ?

I'm sleeping great without pain meds(6-8hrs) but I haven't seen this written by anyone else. Sometimes I'll wake up for a few seconds, change my sleeping position and go back to sleep. The sleep isn't as deep as before but not exactly light either.
