I have a bad lower back. The short amounts of time that I DID sleep yesterday (which is partially why I'm writing this at 3:15 AM my local time) I slept fairly well. Unfortunately, because I have a bad back, sleeping for long periods of time has now become uncomfortable.
I had to end up taking a nap in the middle of the day yesterday.
I was a side sleeper. I was told this was OK to do, but I also toss and turn sometimes, and I'm afraid with the general post-op restrictions (no pushing/pulling, no lifting more than 10 pounds, etc) that I'm going to injure something if I side sleep. I guess it's also a little psychological, as I don't want it to hurt.
Any tips or advice?
