Re: Sleeping Suggestions Needed

[Guest guest]

I tend to sleep on my back these days with a pillow inder my knees

and one under my ankles as well as one under my right arm/shoulder to

prevent it from falling out and a boomerang (triangle) pillow under

my head and neck (sometimes 2) this has been the best way for me

becasue I cannot sleep on my right side anymore due to the shoulder

and the RSD in it etc and sleeping on my left side now I tend to get

a sore shoulder and hip, sleeping on my tummy makes my lower back

hurt so on my back is it for me these days. I also keep a couple of

spare pillows next to me so that I can pad out andy other bits needed.

Good Luck

I find that I have to sleep on my back all the time now... although I'm still up

every couple of hours anyway. I prop myself up on pillows under my head, neck

and shoulders because I have so much problems with inflammation in my ribs and

sternum. Sometimes I think that I should just move a big recliner into my room

but I don't think that my hubby would like that too much!

Sleeping Suggestions Needed

Hey all,

I have been having problems getting comfortable to be able to fall

asleep. I end up tossing and turning a lot, really annoying my

doggies. Earlier this morning, i woke with major pain in my left

hip and could not get comfortable to fall back to sleep. I end up

waking every couple of hours from pain or dislocations. I just

recently put a feather bed topper on my bed, it has helped some, but

not enough. i normally end up sleeping in the fetal position with a

pillow between my knees. but that has been hurting to sleep in

lately. i am trying to find a new position and have been trying to

figure out where to put pillows to make the joints more stable.

I was wondering what other people do to be able to sleep. does

anyone put pillows anywhere special that seems to help your knees

and/or hips?

thanks for any input you can provide.

have a good monday!
