I also have to change position a lot because of pain, but have mastered moving the pillow with me! X
i lay on my left side, ever since I was pregnant as that's the side that lowers blood pressure. So stayed there - and use a body pillow practically ever day since. Now it's definately useful. Shoulders and hips not align can make a very painful wakeup. The pillow aligns your hips and takes pressure of shoulders. I also put a pillow that's slighly tucked under my back - helps with support and keeps my back from hurting. When I sleep without one - I am not a pleasant (or fast moving) person.
I put a pillow between my legs it seems to help some
I do. Helps a lot with my shoulder issues and keeps me in better alignment. I also think it is just comforting to have something to hug. :)
I use just a normal pillow between my legs, but my pain it's mostly from my OA. X
