You will be able to sleep on your side again. For some time though I had a pillow behind my back. A small u shaped pillow (like a mini travel pillow) that I used near my armpit and allowed my foob through the hole...it took the pressure off the foob...you have to fiddle a bit. I also hug a flat pillow....stops the arms folding in too much causing pain and the stretch caused by being on side. My husband became my back pillow expert when I rolled over. I must say when I visited my brother he had a top foam on a normal mattress and it was superb....needed much less pillows. I am now 6 months on and use only a flat hug pillow...but mainly due to my infusaport. It will get better....I so remember crying in bed as so uncomfortable. Lack of sleep wears you down. I tried a body pillow but did find the older worn out smaller ones worked better. Take care. Kath x
