Physical exam: Sorry your father isn't feeling well. It sounds like you need to take him in for a physical exam. Pain has a variety of causes including osteoarthritis. Pain limits activity. Inactivity can lead to several problems in the elderly including muscular atrophy. Your father's physician will need to know his age, medical history, medications (bring all in plastic bag), allergies, etc. Good luck.

Can't sleep: Dr O'leary provided good guidance regarding your father. Did you want advice about your father or your inability to sleep? If you can't sleep consider drinking a cup of warm milk or drinking strong chamomile teas. Make a strict rule that you will only allow your self to ruminate about this during the day - & make it a rule to turn off the fretting when you go to bed.
