My butt and my back are killing me from sitting in bed! I’ve tried v pillow but really isn’t helping! I’m only 1 day post op any tips for staying comfortable or do I need to man up lol? Xxx
I found the back and bum pain were worse than the boobs!! Try putting a pillow under ya bum and wiggle about a bit x
My back is hurting so much too Hun! I literally feel like it’s been split into two! The pain is so bad! Xx
Try hot water bottles and lots of pillows behind your back and not totally sat upright but sort of boobs up upright, any lower stays on bed. I have back problems and sometimes I have to sleep like that lol hope it helps ladies xx
My bum is so numb its ridiculous lol! I keep getting up but it hurts my boobs so want to avoid it! The bum and back pain is definitely worse than boob pain! I’m going to try a pillow under my bum for a bit lol thanks girls xxx
You only have to lay on a 45 degree angle babe not sitting straight up xxxx
I lay on 5 pillows in bed lol! I had one pillow long ways then the v pillow on top then I put a pillow at the bottom of the v pillow to support my back and one at the top to support my neck, I was quiet comfy. If that makes sense. Might be best to find some spare pillows or get someone to buy you some cheap ones from the supermarket. Xx
Hot water bottle!!!! Best invention Hun!!! Was my saviour!! Lol xxxx
Don’t take too many pain killers you might get constipated! X
Haha thanks everyone! I have about 20 pillows I just can’t figure out a way to put them that’s comfortable! I’m going to use my hot water bottle tonight! Xxx
I had some back pain too, try to walk round your house a little? To change position! Also get someone to rub your back 😉 lol
I was a bit naughty & didn’t quite sleep on a 45 degree angle just had an extra pillow or 2 :-/ there’s no way I would have slept like that!
I still struggle to sleep now & I am 16 days post op 🙁
You could also try a pain relief gel/cream to go on your back? Movelat I think it’s called! Xxx
Thanks Michelle, I start off at a good angle but when I wake up I’ve slid down so I’m flatter haha. I need an electric bed the one at Highgate was so comfy! Will see how I get on today! 🙂 xxx
