Sleep.....this is a fantastic find.....
Posted , 9 users are following.
I have bought myself a body pillow, a big long one, it have it behind my back, it goes between my knees and it is bliss....a bit like being in a cocoon. I have found it helps my comfort in bed tremendously. I can get a reasonable measure of sleep now, it's not a miracle cure for 8 hours a night, but oh, it's soo comfy.
I am now 4 weeks and 4 days post op.

Hi,
If this doesn't help ask your doctor to prescribe amytiptyline.I had my first full night sleep after 2 nights taking it..In small doses 10 mg it is used for pain and sleep as it helps you relax
Good luck
Janet

Hi Janet,
Is this the correct spelling for the medication you take to help sleep & pain?
I tried googling it but it did not come up, only one with a different spelling which was described as an antidepressant .
Thank you
