Hello all,
In general how long does it normally take before you can return to side sleeping after the surgery?

Great question
I have tried sleeping sideways(always a side sleeper) but feel some pain even with pillow between legs.

I'm not sure but I think I slept on my back for a few days. Then a few changing from side to back. So I'm thinking I was basically exclusively side sleeping after 7-10 nights.

I’m definitely a side sleeper and I was unable to sleep on my side for about 10 days even with a pillow between me legs. It sucked, but a small price to pay, still totally worth it.

Always sleep on my side. Never an issue. Then again, I felt zero pain after surgery.
