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

Yes, sleeping is hell up until weeks after lengthening is complete.  What helped me tremendously is a foam device I bought on Amazon that lets you rest your legs below the knee in an elevated position. This is necessary due to duckass. I also couldn’t sleep on my side as I usually do until many weeks after lengthening due to pain.

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

Search for “ Restorology Elevating Foam Leg Rest Pillow” if the link doesn’t work.

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

I think you could use regular pillows, if they are high enough and not so soft that they sag under the weight of your legs. The foam maintains its shape and is quite high. You’d have to stack several pillows to get that height.  Either way, it’s so much better than nothing. It’s a life-saver.  I’m still using mine after 3 1/2 months after stopping lengthening, since I still have duckass and lying on my back still isn’t comfortable enough.
