I've got the most horrendous back ache……

From sleeping sat up & more or less doing nothing since my op. Been laid in bed since 10 trying to sleep but I can’t get comfortable at all. I’ve had 2 tramadol, paracetamol, a hot water bottle-n they just don’t seem to be shifting it. I’ve been in that much pain I have actually vomited. Any tips to help would me massively appreciated xxx

Ah me too Hun its horrible ain’t it, I will be so glad when I can sleep on my side again I’m 11 days po and still too sore xx

Ive got 4 pillows plus my V pillow, I have 2 laid the normal way but one semi sat up and one laid lengthways (so they look a bit like a T shape)so the end comes to my lower back then I have my V pillow on top to support my neck, arms and shoulders and THEN I have another pillow just under my knees to support them and my bottom. I wish I could draw it Ive slept loads better since doing that, still not straight through but deffo better. xxx

I’ve done the same as Niki, I found adding a pillow in a t-shape from the ones under your head has really helped my lower back. I used a little square one for this. Have you tried some deep heat? x

I think I may have a pinched nerve because of all the sleeping sitting upright. I’ve been in agony since Thursday night every time I try to put my legs down in bed, I get an almight electric shock pain in my lower back……IT’S HORRIBLE AND THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THIS POST OP 😥

del your boobs look fab! what did u have again? good luck with the sleeping girls, im dreading that bit! xx

Hiya ladies! I’ve had my pillows in at least 10 different positions, but cos I had an arm lif too I’ve a cut running from arm pit to elbow so that doesn’t help things. I can’t move about or anything. I’ve not tried deep heat but will give it a go thanks! & ouch lou81, get someone to massage your back for u to see if it will release xxx

oh god I keep forgetting about your arms, really sorry! Feck I don’t really know what to suggest except maybe dope ya self up on pain killers? xxx

I know my arms make it so much worse. Me n my brigh ideas to av it all done at the same time ey!! How r u tday nikibokerglory? Your staples still ok?xxx
