Help when lying down

Post by neopeius »

I have found that, when lying on my side, putting a pillow between my knees/thighs to keep the legs from pressing against each other is quite helpful. Just a tip.

My personal experience, any sitting that puts pressure on the area between your sit bones triggers the pain. Cushions with a hole in the middle help me sit without much pain for some time (while driving to work for ex), but not for a prolonged amount of it (in ex, going to the movies).
