What Could Cause Soreness And Pains Due To Sleeping On Floor?

We recently moved into our new home.After a long day of moving my husband and I slept on our bedroom floor that was carpeted, yet very hard and uncomfortable. When we woke up the next morning the two of us were very very sore. My soreness was isolated tomy right upper/outter thigh that I had slept on cor most of the night.( I did not lift anything heavy during the move either). After a couple of days my husband was completely relieved of his soreness while mine grew worse and worse with time. It turned into a deep dull ache and eventually deep sharp pains that significantly decreases the use of that leg. It has been two months since the onset of symtoms began and I am still in excruciating pain, walking with a limp, and noticing that my left leg is getting weaker from carry all of my weight(295lbs). I have had xrays, a ct scan, and blood work done in the er and by a PCP both of whom have failed to give me a solid diagnosis. I am afraid that if my condition isnt diagnosed and treated very soon I could lose the ability to use my leg altogrther. Please help.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
If you are using a thick mattress then sleeping on the floor does not natter. The hard floor can cause a muscle stiffness and soreness due to abnormal sleeping posture.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
