Is it normal to find it comfortable to sleep with a pillow between legs? No, i don't get aroused by it. It just feels comfortable and helps me fall asleep.
Anyone does that?
Please tell me about your sleeping habits? ;-)
I put the blankets between my legs sometimes, just for the cooling feeling of it... My bed is in the corner, the walls lined with pillows, a few teddy bears and my Chococat plushie ^-^ to remind me of the real black cat who used to sleep there with me... :'(
Sure it is. I sleep only with a pillow or no pillow at all, but a friend of mine enjoys three pillows, one to hug, one to lay the head, and one between the legs. If you feel comfortable, why bother? :)
I use a body pillow. Having a pillow between your legs helps to support your spinal alignment while you sleep. I started using the body pillow to relieve pain from a herniated disc.
You should consider taking White Willow Bark for your pain. It's very gentle, non-addictive, and it doesn't give you a high.
I know what remedies, medications, exercises and treatments I need, and when, thank you.
If you can share some of that I'm listening. I wanna take good care of my spine cause my dad had two surgeries and the last one didn't go so well for him.
I see an osteopath once every four to six weeks (more often when it was really bad) exercise regularly (core strength in particular as my injury is lower back), use a foam roller for muscle pain, and when it gets unbearable, I take ibuprofen plus codeine and if that doesn't work, panadeine forte (paracetamol - forgot what you guys call that. Starts with a - plus codeine plus an antihistamine. Similar to whats in Nyquil i think, from memory). I only use meds as a last resort. If the panadeine forte (same level as tramadol - i cant take. Apparently im allergic - it paralyses me and makes me hallucinate while not killing pain at all) then the next step is Lyrica for the neuralgia.
Willow bark is what asprin is derived from. Thats not strong enough to kill nerve pain.
Acetaminophen. That's what you call paracetamol in America. Panadeine forte is 450mg acetaminophren/paracetamol, 30mg codeine phosphate and 5mg doxylamine succinate.
Thanks for that, I can't take medication, tried willow bark before didn't do nothing. Now I know why.
I have one too. I got it at this place called Relax the Back here in the states. I have Cervical Spondylosis in my upper back.
It's wear tear, osteoarthritis and bone spurs in the cervical spine(neck/upper spine). I hope I explained that okay. I just know I get pain In my upper back and sometimes it goes down to my shoulders, arms and hands, but I think that's also from myofascial pain.
I wanna get one of those inversion table thingies so I can hang upside down and take pressure off my discs. I also think I should be taking glucosamine chondroitin, calcium and Omega 3 fish oil supplements, I think.
Krill oil is meant to be better than glucosamine, I think, but I can't remember where I heard that or if I made it up :/
Careful with fish oil. Anything but the highehighest quality is basically useless. Its the EDA levels, I think. I can't remember. Need to see if I have a bottle at home still.
OMG I need that!!! But why do I only see woman using them in pictures? :D
I sleep with a pillow between my knee's cause they are bony and I just like it n I fall asleep soundly.
I started doing it after reading the thread title just to try it out. Now I wish I had a second pillow.
Small green pillow with dragonflies embroidered on it. Between my knees, if I'm sleeping on my side.
It is often recommended as it aligns the spine. So very normal, especially if you are a side sleeper.
It's normal.I started sleeping like that out of frustration from loneliness,but I only do it now because it's comfy.I cuddle with all my pillows and blankets :)
It's very comfy sleeping on my side with one between the legs, but my legs never fail to cramp after sleeping that way, so you're lucky it works for you Op.
