Sleeping and sitting causing great hip pain


Sleeping and sitting causing great hip pain -- Posted by fkissam on 06-01-05 14:22


I have fibromyalgia and arthritis.

Due to spinal problems and surgery, it is difficult to sleep on my back.

When I sleep on my side with a pillow between legs, I wake up with great hip
pain at the front and sides of my hips. Both hips hurt.

ANY SUGGESTIONS, websites, or products would be helpful.

Thank you.

I will provide the URLs of the sleep items that I use. The Cuddlewe has a
lot of information on FMS on their board

Cuddlewe has apparently been bought by a company called Merlo (?) and sells
thru distributors. Here is one of the distributors I just called
http://www.biogro.us/cuddleewe.html?OVRAW=cuddlewe&OVKEY=cuddleewe&OVMTC=standard

Something very interesting, the guy that answered the phone wanted to put me
in touch with a lady that was " cured" of FMS. I turned him down. but
there are other distributors if these are jerks.

I also have a Nature's Rest Latex Bed. http://www.naturesrest.com But
when I bought this they sold the mattress as a set with an adjustable bed.
It seems that they no longer sell the adjustable bed, only the mattress.
If works wonderful for me, usually.
The best sleep that I get is when I am not lying flat. on the setup that I
have. Sleeping like this does seem to cause me to dry out and my throat,
tongue and mouth feel like the tissue is ready to split if I do not get a
drink very soon.

Some times I sleep on the bed flat and use a body pillow. This is the
easiest way to fall asleep when I am having trouble the other way. But I
find that my sinuses will fill up on the side of my head toward the pillow.
If I roll to the other side, the sinuses drain to the other side of my head,
pillowside down.

If you can not afford the bed that I use, which was about $2,700 about 5
years ago. At the very least, getting the cuddlewe will help you immensely.

I "use" to tell people that if they bought the cuddlewe and they did not
like it, if the company would not take it back, I would buy it from them. I
ended up buying one for my wife from the company. Either no one was
dissatisfied or no one listened to me and bought the underquilt.
