Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
Thanks for writing back to me,

It's good to know that you are already working out, with work out ,diet modification is very necessary, you got to have enough protein and carbohydrates so that your muscles don't deteriorate. Oral vitamin and mineral supplementation also helps in this regard. Vitamins also strengthen your nerves and connective tissue. Make a habit of spending some time in sunlight.

I can feel your concern about this pain and your sleep disturbance and hopefully suggestions i gave you , will help you out of this situation and you will get no more sleep issues.

You can also contact a physiotherapist for consultation , the maneuvers and exercises they tell you after listening to you history are focused on that particular problem and indeed more beneficial than random exercises a person does by himself.
