Cant sleep on my back!

I'm about 2 weeks out. I think I pulled an abdominal muscle on my lower left side. The only pain free position to sleep is on my back. But, I am so sick of sleeping on my back, its uncomfy! Due to pain, cannot sleep any other way. I used to be a stomach sleeper, but don't dare try that. Even turning to the side is excruciating.

Do others have this problem? What can I do?

Try putting a small pillow under the lower part of your back that might help.

You'll be able to go back to sleeping as you like once you heal up. I spent my first two weeks in a recliner, personally, because being flat in the bed made it harder to get up and the acid reflux was icky. Pillows are great for support, though, once you start sleeping more normally. I am a side/stomach sleeper and used a pillow for support and it made all the difference
