Side sleeper

[kimpossible67 608]

I'm 8 mths plus post op. I've lost 104 lbs. each of my shoulders hurt when I lay down on them. Is it lack of padding (fat)?

[Elode 8,093]

Ha! Probably!

Could be. I am a side sleeper too, and when my knees touch they hurt. So I have to make sure my body pillow is between them, lest I wake up with sore knees in the morning!

You might look at a C pillow or a J pillow - they're sold for pregnant people, to help with adjusting to new body configurations... but the shape of the C gives you padding at neck/shoulder, support at back, and padding between thighs/knees.

I have to bunch up the comforter between my knees. I guess I got bony knees too!

P.S. I forgot to add a 2nd NSV experience in bed!

About a year ago, I was laying on my side and woke up with this hard poking sensation in my side. I thought I had rolled over on one of my books or something. I reached under my side to pull out the offending book and there was nothing there!!! It was my rib! I could feel my ribs!!!

Weightloss is all I can think of! They only hurt when I lay on one or the other.

I bought a pregnancy pillow for support and a knee pillow. I am now thinking about neck pillow. I am just not comfortable at night anymore.

Maybe try a pillow topper or memory foam topper if it is too uncomfortable. There are many different thicknesses available, and prices as well. Isn't it great to feel our bones?!!!
