Anyone notice pain much worse at night?

[Maria]

Is usually worse at night as I sit or lie around doing very little and then in the early a.m. when I first get up and until I take my pain meds. I think it's the arthritic pain that sort of gets me at both times.

Now if I've been overdoing at whatever then usually that's just a progressive pain that happens whenever and needs to be listened to at the same time. I've learned that often muscle relaxers seem to help me quite abit avoid or quell an acute flare up that might last a little longer if I didn't use anything.
