Jillybabes Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have always slept on two pillows and never had a problem until recently, been waking up in utter agony with neck and shoulder area, going to bed isn't nice anymore cos I know I'm gonna wake up in pain. Does anybody have same problem with pillows, have also tried orthopaedic ones but found them too hard, help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Overall Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have always slept on two pillows and never had a problem until recently, been waking up in utter agony with neck and shoulder area, going to bed isn't nice anymore cos I know I'm gonna wake up in pain. Does anybody have same problem with pillows, have also tried orthopaedic ones but found them too hard, help! Have you tried the v shaped ones? I've got one and put a normal pillow up to it. Works for me and I've got Arthritic shoulders, neck and spine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs patching Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have exactly the same problem . I have lost count of the number of pillows i have tried over the years. The cost has been enormous, spending money on expensive and cheap ones. I still haven't found a solution either and wake constantly in the night with numb and painful arms. Considering getting an electric bed that you can raise up so i am in a sitting position to sleep with no pillows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillybabes Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 It's a nightmare isn't it, I tried not sleeping on my back no better, it's driving me crazy now, getting headaches because of it, might have to go to osteopath or something.

Moonbird Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Can I join the club? Over the years I have tried neck care pillows with varying success, to make things worse I just can't sleep with more than one pillow so the wonderful soft snuggly cheap one that I bought in desperation is way too low, I have neck pain too again at the moment I don't know if its from arthritis that I have at the top of the spine or the rotar cuff injury I have or the pillows The very best pillows I had in recent years were memory foam ones, not the strangely shaped hard ones but normal pillows, they were lovely and soft and seemed to work well...but expensive, and sadly hot to sleep on in summer I can't afford any more at the moment...sigh.

Jillybabes Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have a couple of them, my mum bought them to try cos she has same problem, they are useless, too hard or too bouncy, can't win, might just hang upside down like a bat see if that works lol!

trackrunner Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I bought feather ones and a sausage shaped one I put under my neck, that seems to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogo Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I suffered with lower back pain for most of last year and the beginning of this. Thought it was my matress that was causing it. However, in many cases it turns out to be lifestyle. Been too sidentery was effecting me. Ever since I took a sport up much of the lower back pain has now gone. Only notice it, if I've been sat down for more than 15 mins at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
