Hey guys, does anyone have any suggestions for sleeping positions? My legs have been in agony past two nights and I've been unable to get any sleep. I tried a pillow under my knees and a rolled up blanket under my ankles but nothing works. I've heard its like this during lengthening, this seems like its gonna be hell if I wont be able to sleep for the next few months. How do you guys manage it?

Thanks guys.

@Great321 I'll try your suggestions maybe propping up on lots of pillows might help. I stretched a lot yesterday and had a deep tissue massage before bed but the pain still keeps coming.

@EZ Did you get more solid nights sleep after the first month or is this just how it is until distraction is finished? I honestly dont know how I'm gonna get through this if I can't sleep for 10 weeks  Stryde - sleeping problems

Thanks Movie, glad to hear that. I was worried that I'd be facing months of sleepless nights. I'm only about 2 weeks post surgery so hopefully things will improve in the next couple of weeks

Hi Tiggy, I take Tramal & Lyrica one hour before sleeping. I will try your suggestion of not lying in bed before going to sleep, I usually will watch a movie or something before turning in, that would make sense that my back would already be tired from laying on the bed all that time. Really hope things improve, feeling like a bit of a zombie at the moment

Thanks man, could you send me the link for the foam device? I've tried every position with pillows but nothing works

@inchesmatter just wondering what's the key difference between the foam pillow and just using regular pillows?
