Why Does My Arthritis Hurt More at Night?
There are multiple factors that are responsible
for increased pain in the night. The levels of
Cortisol, the anti-inflammatory hormone tends to
be lower in the night increasing the inflammation
in the joints. Add this to the stationary
positions of sleep that patients hold for longer
times which can stiffen the joints, the pain
tends to exacerbate to a new level particularly
yin the night. Given there are no distractions
in the night the pain threshold happens to be
quite low making it even tougher to tolerate the
increased pain caused by arthritis. However there
few steps you can take to decrease the incidence
of the pain and help you sleep better
