Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 , I was most uncomfortable sleeping for 6 weeks, as I had to sleep on my back, totally unnatural to me. I didn't go to a PT for the first 6 weeks, I did what the PT in the hospital gave me to do, other than that I didn't start until after 6 weeks then I went to the hydro pool. Are you taking a lot of pain medication to cause the dreams, if so are you still in that much pain? Barb and I were done one day apart and coming up for 6 months post op, mine was a 4th revision. x -- Re: Going Out Of My Mind! I've been having this very same problem only I had hip replacement surgery. I have tried different sizes and shapes of pillows at various different angles and still can't get a decent night's sleep. Even when I do sleep for say an hour, my dreams are bordering on nightmares. I don't know if this is the pain meds or my general discomfort. I'm at the four week mark now and my PT today said to give it 6-8 weeks before I find comfort. That wasn't really what I wanted to hear! ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
