Hello Veronica. Like everything else, we've got nothing to lose. If what we see or hear seems to make sense in every way why not give it a try. I use a different method for this problem. Let us know the outcome if you'll give it a go. All the best.

I always keep a small soft pillow between my knees when I’m on my side too. It stops your hips from tilting too much which then impacts your knees x

I seem to remember years back, pre Paddison, being advised to bend my inflamed knee. Like Paddison in the early days I had a very swollen left knee. I am not sure if I read about this or was told by a physio. I seem to remember that the bending would force the trapped fluid, which causes the swelling, out of the knee where it could then be disposed of by your body.

Not a problem now with the advancement of drug treatments. X

I sometimes sleep with a cushion between my knees , I started doing this 30 years ago when I was pregnant and had a symphyseal diastasis (gap in the front if my pelvis) I found it really comfy so have used it on and off since then. Using it more now since having RD.

well I got myself in a right mess last night, took my pillows up, done what you said Mmrr and got one under my arm for shoulder, too than I was all comfy and needed the totlet, so had to do it all again waking hubby in the process

then I felt trapped when I woke up with all the pillows :O)

and I am not any better for it :O)

[Mmrr in reply to VeronicaF]

lol 🤣

Try one cushion (not a pillow) between your knees, it does take the pressure off if they are achey !

[VeronicaF in reply to Mmrr]

do you know Mmrr what helps more,is using hot water bottle, cover it well so it doesn't burn and but it between your knees, its ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but weather its because your mind is on that, taking it away from the pain? I don't know but ahhhh it works, lovely

[Mmrr in reply to VeronicaF]

glad you found something that works for you ! I also have a small 12 x 9 inch electric heat pad and an electric blanket, so have lots of options !

[VeronicaF in reply to Mmrr]

I only have my hot water bottle :O(

thanks Mmrr :O)
