Best pain relief to take now, at night, to help me sleep but not get stomach ache. I have hip pain and can’t find a sleeping position.

I would take 2 Ibuprofen with some milk to line my stomach. Should take effect in about 20 minutes. Hope you get some sleep.

Tens machine. Tiger balm. Heat pad.

Can you put a pillow between your legs? I’ve had hip pain before, always worse at night as you have less things to focus on. I still use my old maternity pillow. It’s a hideous, gnawing pain. Ibuprofen is a good shout (sadly I can’t take it for medical reasons) but it’s probably the best for any joint pain. Hope you get some relief.

Cocodamol 8/500 you can buy over the counter at any chemist if you have an all night pharmacy near you. I'd also try voltarol gel

One paracetamol, one ibuprofen.

Second co-codamol or you can get co-ibuprofen if the anti-inflammatory might too help. Or one of each! If the ibuprofen upsets your stomach … then the milk the PP suggested?
