Muscle pain

hi,

My mother has multiple myeloma. She's been taking thalidomide for some months now. One side effect of taking it is that she doesn't move at all during sleep. This results in very stiff muscles in the morning and she's been suffering from muscle soreness for several months. This impedes her in day to day movement and of course prevents her from exercising. I wonder if there is some way to promote more movement during sleep, ideally without affecting the quality of sleep?

thanks,
Jon.
