Is it the discomfort or the pain or something else?

I read someones diary they got a mattress topper and this really helped with their sleep / discomfort.

Do you think that would work?

Then I'm hearing some people don't even have trouble with sleep. With all the pain meds how is sleep difficult?

After LL difficult? Why is sleeping difficult after LL?

I slept 12 hours a day for several months after LL with no trouble.  Once the lengthening is over it's such an instant relief.

The metal rods in your legs will magnify nearby radiation greatly (router, cell phone, etc)

Radiation in general damages health but with metal in your body it makes you much more sensitive

When you sleep at night, your body shifts around to make your body more comfortable.

When you are lengthening, you can't shift your body around so easily while sleeping. You sleep on your back and are stuck in that position, and when you wake up about 2 hours later, your back and glutes and back leg muscles are sore and have poor circulation from that same position. So when you wake up like 2 hours later, you need to get up and stretch, let pressure off your back muscles, and get better circulation flowing throughout your body.

Is it impossible to sleep laterally with externals using a pillow between the legs or the frames?

The frames are too bulky and that setup would not be stable enough.  Sudden movements hurt.

Is it possible to sleep on my side after femoral LON surgery? I never fall asleep in the supine position. Maybe I can get used to it when I have to, but this situation makes me nervous. Anyone have experience on this subject?
