Hi @Tricia50 I’m so sorry you’ve come to join us but you are welcomed.
I’m one of the fortunate ones in that I don’t suffer such pains. I did however have the heavy legs and insomnia.
My stroke 2 years ago and was on the left side of my brain affecting the whole of my right side, speech and swallowing among other quirks.
Walking felt like I had lead boots on, fortunately that disappeared at some point in that first year as my walking improved. Your pain may go away as you improve.
The insomnia I’ve come to terms with so to speak. Personally I say my off switch got fried in the stroke so I don’t have that sense of feeling tired as such, it’s more the brain wants shutting down, or should I say, it wants to go into sleep mode. And it was down to me to figure out when to nap or sleep. So whenever it’s in that mood I rest or go to bed, it gives me a bit of a thick head. I’ll only know if I was actually sleepy when I’d wake 
And it took months to figure this out and months of inconsistent sleeping patterns but me and brain have now got an understanding. My brain cracks the whip in my house or it just pulls the plug on me anyway 
You will feel aches and pains in the night as toss and turn sleeplessly. You get up and have a drink, read a book, watch tv, play on your apps for hour and then try to sleep again. And you just keep on doing this until you finally manage to snatch a few hours before you start all over again the next night.
If you break your leg, it take 6-8wks for the break to knit back together. But, it takes anything from 6mths to year to recover back to full strength on average.
Your brain is in the similar state to the broken leg. It’s currently trying to maintain your present functionality whilst also repair and relearn and that can take anything from a year plus depending on the extent of the damage.
You’re barely into your 5th month now, there’s yet a lot of recovery to look forward to over the next 7mths or so.
And whilst you’re doing that, it wouldn’t do you any harm to start taking some vitamin supplements to boost your bodies nutrients as they always take a heavy hit in recovery. But don’t go borrowing trouble and worry yourself needlessly, that just puts more pressure on your system that could hinder your recovery. Your pain symptoms may seem similar to @Loshy but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are the same condition. See your doctor maybe about the pains, have him/her test your blood for nutrient levels perhaps.
Stay strong
Just pinch this from @Mrs5K reply in another post and it just struck a cord with me because I drag my foot and slur my speech at the end of day. And, as my daughter just explained, it’s my brain’s way of saying it’s done with that for day It’s a good one to remember in times when you feel you are not making any progress or as you said yourself, you sometimes feel you are going backward. And I’ve enough experience with recovery over the years to know that it is always 2 steps forward and 1 step back for me.
