Question

It is 3:37am and I CANNOT FALL ASLEEP!!!!I my back pain is killing me!!!! At this point, the only way my back feels the best is by standing and I wish I could stand and sleep... Does anybody have good suggestions of how to deal with the extreme back pain? I was thinking of U Body pillow... it seems that it has a multiple ways of using it... what do you think?? Do you think it's worth the money? ( about $100-$200)

I have no experience with a pillow of this type but it looks like it might help. It wouldn't hurt. And getting more sleep would help anyhow. Try it! Best wishes.

In the few patients that I know get back pain after a tummy tuck it is from being bent over. Sometimes muscle relaxers can help. I let my patients sleep on their sides with their knees bent if that makes them comfortable. Best to ask your doc.
