15-2-2012 - Hip Pain @ Night

My mood while writing this blog: Refreshed

I posted a comment under week 24 but I thought I would also write a blog for others to read.

I've been having excrutiating hip pain during the night from sleeping on my sides. I've kind of had enough of it cause it's causing me to not sleep very well. About 2 weeks ago I thought about trying to sleep on top of something for extra cushion. I took a quilt and folded it up so it was only on my side of the bed. It worked a little, the pain wasn't as bad but it was still there. I did this for about a week but it wasn't enough padding. So last night I tried a down comforter. I have a small throw size down comforter that I folded in half and tucked it under the covers on my side of the bed only and slept on top of that. It was like night and day! I had no hip pain all night and I was actually able to sleep through the night except to get up and pee and turn over once or twice. But it was so much more comfortable. The downy feathers cushioned my hips just enough. I suggest any of you other hip-pain sufferers to try this out! Good luck! :-)
