wedge pillow

[Guest guest]

I bought two wedge pillows about 2-3 years ago. $45 seems about

right--they were fairly expensive. They are a good option, but did

sometimes aggravate my back. I would occasionally try to sleep on

my side with them but I had to be careful because if I wasn't in the

right position I would wake up with neck or back pain (the pillows

seem designed only for sleeping on the back).

Is bougie dilation the dilation with a series of rubber dilators of

increasing size? I had this type of dilation done a year ago

(without surgery) but am not sure the name. It didn't help me but

that is only because my esophagus turned out not to be too narrow (a

barium swallow had showed a possible narrowing).
