Try sleeping with a pillow between your knees as this can ease the strain on your back. If you sleep on your back then try popping a pillow under your knees which can then maintain the natural curve in the back.

I am a mum and wife to a lovely caring family. I’ve suffered with chronic back pain for over 30 years and started writing my first blog in 2007 which covered back and chronic pain. Since then I have written many more blogs for myself and customers. I find it takes me away from my pain to another place. I love it so much I think it should be part of a recovery process after illness or surgery. I hope you enjoy reading through my blogs.

I sleep with a v cushion until I fall asleep then I seem to push it out and sleep on one pillow. In the day when I sleep I can only sleep with the v cushion and that’s my best sleep so ‘yes’ but not under my knees but that’s because my main pain is discs in my neck. If the sciatica or lumber pain keeps me awake I always lie on my back for a bit with a pillow under my knees but it’s too uncomfortable to get a full night. Hope that helps gilly? xx
