A member asked:
I have a back fracture in my si joint and its stoping me sleeping - i'm already of diclofenac. could you suggest any thing to help me sleep?

Simple sleep remedy: A helpful and safe remedy is something called melatonin. People may safely use 1-5 milligrams before bed time, normally starting with 1 milligram is a good idea. What is more important for you may be better pain control rather than something to help you sleep.
