Another simple way to <sometimes> ease a bit of the pain is to lay on

your bed, on your stomach, with your feet dangling off the end of the

bed. Its called " natural traction " .

When I had a PT suggest this to me and was astounded. I fall asleep

every night on my back and almost always wake up on my belly, feet

hanging off the end of the bed and I couldn't figure out why. My body

naturally found the position to help itself.

I sometimes wake up on my stomach but more so on one side or the

other. I commented on this before but I can't sleep without some sort

of support beneath my knees. When I shared this with my PT at the

time she said it helps take pressure off of your lower back -- so for

those of us with nerve pain/neuropathy/ muscle spasms to the lower

back it's worth a try. --
