What is the best pillow for back pain?
I had a one level lumbar fusion (L4/L5) on July 2. I just got home from the hospital and am really missing the hospital beds. Between the ability to recline and having support, and the bed being softer, I am a lot more sore at home in my own bed.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a pillow, and were I can find it, that helps me recline, and supports me between the gap of the bed and headboard. Probably a tall wedge?
I would really appreciate some help, since 75% of my next two weeks is in bed…Thanks.
If you are looking for a pillow to support your back in bed, a wedge pillow or a reading pillow (bedrest pillow) might be best. A department store like Target, Sears, or Walmart should have bedrest pillows. Those stores may have wedge pillows as well, but you may need to go to a specialty store (like Bed, Bath & Beyond, or maybe a Mattress City) to find them.
