[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Thanks

[@gregoryclemen1870]

I had back surgery ( L5/ S1 disc removed) years ago ( 1996). over a couple of years I tried many mattresses that did not work out, and I did not want to get "HOOKED" on pain medication, and having worked in a hospital, I bought a low pressure hospital mattress( long term care). it was the total answer to my back pain, I am a back sleeper, and when I wake up in the morning, I am still on my back( no tossing/ turning).I also put a triangle foam block under the mattress to provide a "knee break" I am no longer on pain meds. and have no back pain when sleeping. during the day, I have to move around, I cannot stand too long or sit too long, my back really begins to bother me if I do that( the pain is in the spine area where the surgery was performed) thanks so much for posting this video, and have a great day!!!!

Thank you doctor..IamAneena. kerala

[@greggdoubleu7222]

Great video Andrea. In my experience bath towels are your friends. When sleeping on your back, with no pillows, use 1 rolled towel under the neck and 1 folded towel (to size of a large book) under the lower back. For sleeping on the stomach use 2 or 3 folded towels under one shoulder to lift it so your neck isn't as cramped. Sleeping on the side, fold a towel long and narrow and put it under your pillow by your neck to raise that part of the pillow and support your neck better. For neck pain itself, wrap a towel around your neck to keep muscles warm and relaxed all night long.

A Therapeutica pillow is the absolute best because it comes in different sizes to fit shoulder depth of side sleeper but also conforms when turning onto back.

[@faithfultita1585]

Thank you dr Furlan for this great demonstration! I have fibromyalgia, neck, lower back and hip pain.over the years, I've tried all you shared and it helped. Now I have a sleep number bed and I love it. I can adjust mattress firmness, and raise head and feet. Should I be worried about the alignment of my back?

[@cydkriletich6538]

Yes! You sound exactly like me. I love my Select Comfort bed because, as strange as it may sound, some nights my body just feels as if I may need more, or less, support than I would normally use. I also sleep on my side, and I slightly elevate both the head (I have GERD, too, so the head up is very important), and the lower part of the bed also slightly elevated, because I find that when my feet/ankles are slightly elevated, it seems to help my leg pain, although I don’t know if it exacerbates my hip pain. I have shoulder pain on both sides (🤦🏻‍♀️) and am a side sleeper, so that is sometimes a problem, but having my head raised a little bit sometimes helps. I hope you are having a better night sleep with less pain with your Select Comfort. I have recommended this bed to everyone I know!

[@lorriefinley3129]

@ Faithful Tita you are so lucky. The sleep number beds are the best beds for those with FM because they adjust to however one feels from day to day. And, having the head or feet raised a bit won't hurt. (Retired RN with FM)

[@lorriefinley3129]

@ Cyd Kreletich Absolutely, the Sleep Number bed is the best choice for those with. Fibromyalgia because our bodies pain changes not only in intensity but where from day to day and often hour to hour. I suggest too looking into the Therapeutics pillow. If you have neck or shoulder pain or headaches, this is really good. A prescription is needed but that shouldn't be too hard to convince your doctor.

The mattress I am using now is still about 25 years old. It is a firmer and longer than average one which was necessary for my father to fall asleep on successfully after working his whole adult life at first as a brick maker and then as a welder. When he died it became a hand me down to my youngest daughter and then after she was done with it then it got handed down to me. I don't want to part with this mattress since it is not lumpy at all or being more apt to sink more in the center of it. In addition since it is so firm it goes perfect with the foam pillow which my mother bought for me that has a curved surface to prevent my neck from being crooked while I am laying in bed. My mother one Christmas gave that kind of pillow as gift to me, my 2 youngest children and to whom was often being responsible for helping me pick them up almost 100 miles away 3 weekends out of 4 every month for years. Unlike us after bringing it to his house he complained that it only gave him a headache and so he threw it out.

I was so happy to see this video this evening I had such a hard night sleeping last night with my shoulder pain even if I didn't sleep on the bad shoulder, it hurt I do use many of the tips.What are your thoughts on taking a sleep med for someone with chronic pain to help them sleep through the night better? because the sleep med will help you stay asleep better than if you didn't have it because the chronic pain easily wakes you up but if you're sleeping hard you're less likely to wake up. I'm getting to the point right now where I'm thinking about trying a sleep med for this purpose, because of lack of good sleep. I appreciate your tips and giving us hope that there can be some relief. Please let me know your thoughts on having a sleep med for chronic pain at night. Thank you so much.

Thank you Dr. Furlan. Regarding mattress, when we shop for mattress in shops , many type of mattresses are seen such as firm, medium firm , soft and so on. I feel " medium firm" is the best one particularly for lower back ache . I would also suggest not to compromise on mattress for a good night sleep . As soon as it is visible that it starts sagging in the middle , it should be replaced.

I have to add since I have scoliosis and my connected tissue is so weak and I've got that thing that's worse than far from my algebra. I have to put a pillow a filled up sock with foam between my knees and flip around every 3 hours and my hips and ears burn so I've ripped out holes in my pillows my pillows. And my shoulders hurt so I have to put a pillow under my ribcage to get off my shoulder so I think it's spurcitis or or just that I feel everything cause I'm crooked and I'm 60 years old and I have osteoporosis Chronic fatigue syndrome and insomnia Amia and brain atrophy and not having a great time. I can't lay on my back because of the key focus in my back it's too much it's already going up my neck because my head is too forward and cut off my juggler veins to my brain and I'm having that atrophy and the and lobes in the bottom of the cerebellum or all messed up with my motor control and I'm just having the drop outs where my head is awake and then I just fall to the ground and I'm afraid to drive my car.

[@lindacarmelle8333]

We struggle with some similar sleep issues. I have scoliosis and my hips/legs are different sizes. I can say I found the apple core pillow helps to keep my neck aligned whether on my side or on my back. It will not allow my head/neck to go to far forward so I can breathe fine. I also use a knee pillow that supports my legs resting on a platform portion of it and if I turn on my side I do keep a foam knee pillow there to support the alignment of my hips. There are so many products it is challenging to find ones that are a perfect fit, but keep trying. Also after a surgery earlier this year I kept a cooler beside my bed with pillows in zip loc bags. In the middle of the night I traded for cooler ones from the ice chest. This was good so as not to get up in the middle of the night to walk to the freezer and find ice packs. Those were smaller pillows or half stuffed pillow cases . I needed them for my foot with my nerve condition of CRPS,but it may help with overheating sensations.... I had to experiment alot,my husband and I share a bed ,but he works overnight/early morning and is usually at work when I am asleep,that is why I can use both sides of the bed . Sometimes I also find sleeping on a recliner helps. My cousin and a friend have the kind of drop outs you mention. My friend found relief when she spoke to her doc and they changed some medications. My cousin could feel the the issue a minute or so before so she would try to sit down. Hers were somewhat induced by stress, triggers would be even losing track of an important item. She would try to write down the thoughts and happenings in the moments leading up to the drop to talk to her doc/therapist and learn new ways of coping. Both my friend and my cousin decided to stop driving b/c they were to afraid. Hopefully you will overcome all the challenges and find resolutions soon.🙏

Sleeping for me is torture for 80% of the time. Because of chronic pain almost everywhere: neck, left shoulder, lumbar back, lower back, tail bone, right hip, both knees and both ankles. The cherry on the sundae is I also suffer from neuropathy. Fortunately I have been using a RIK liquid gel mattress for the last 10 years. When I must sleep on any other mattress it’s hell. The positions that get me the best results is flip flopping from side to side. It’s the pain that will wake to flip. I hate it!!! Ill nap in my power chair to make up on some sleep. I’m usually in bed 14 hours plus a day to get 5 to 7 hours of sleep. Thanks for your videos!!! I love all of them because they help a lot… 🤗😊

Great video! Also Your mattress looks very comfortable. What brand is it.? Semi firm? Or soft?

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Hi Chantal, I'm not sure. It has a firm consistency but it has a pad on the top that is soft. Thank you for watching the video and writing this comment. Please share this video with your friends.

Just wondering about the beds that you can raise the head with a remote

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

I think they are too expensive and offer very little benefit.

[@shinigglory3689]

Thanks Dr for this great information ❤❤

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

My pleasure 😊

[@liontiger1703]

Hello Dr.Furlan. Thanks for your video. I will subscribe and watch some of your others. I am having an intrathecal pain delivery device surgery next month. Multiple spine disorders. I have been trying to find out if there are certain sleep positions you can or cannot use if you have an implanted pump. I don't know if you speak of this or not ? Thanx💫
