    Have you tried ibuprofen? I think it's called brufen in the UK. It helps with a lot of skeletal and muscular pain, as it's an anti-inflammatory, so it reduces the swelling in the areas, which is what usually causes most of the pain. It probably won't get rid of it completely, but it should dull the pain enough so that you'll be able to sleep.
