Sleeping on back??

Posted , 8 users are following.

I hope to be having a hip replacement in the new year (yes I know that is a long way away but I am getting as much information as possible)....one thing I am concerned about is how do I stay on my back when I am asleep?  Usually I sleep on either side and on my back, moving around in my sleep.

    i was concerned about this too but I put a pillow under my knees or sometimes between them and it seemed to anchor them.some people have bought a type of round wedge to stuff down one side of them to stop rolling over. Keep reading these pages you will always find an answer.
