How Do You Use Pillows At Night To Ease Your Pain?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Atlanta, GA

I have to sleep with a pillow between the knees and one behind my middle/low back for support as I sleep on my side.
I would love to find a back pillow that conformed to my back.

Do you use anything to improve your comfort to try to get a good nights sleep ?

Morning! How about a "maternity" pillow? My daughter still uses hers. It's long enough to hug at your chest, be placed between your knees, and supported her back. Kind of reminds me of one of those large stuffed snakes you win at the carnivals! But, these are more comfortable.
Hugs, Wanda

I do the same thing, I don't use anything special but the regular pillows really help.

You can also order a boyfriend pillow, it's a long pillow that you use to snuggle with but would work for this.

My lower back hurt before waking up. I sat up in bed for one hour. The pain stopped, so I fell asleep on my side or back. Over time I used mechanical vibrations, they can even put me to sleep. Kuznetsov's prickly carpet can also be used. It acts against pain and induces sleep. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Bolívala mě před probuzením záda ve spodní části. Sedal jsem si v posteli na jednu hodinu. Bolest přestala, a tak jsem dospal na boku nebo zádech. Časem jsem používal mechanické vibrace, ty dovedou i uspat. Lze použít i Kuzněcovův pichlavý kobereček. Působí proti bolesti a uspává.
