I can't sleep on my back............embarrassed to say, but I'm a snorer. I sleep on my non affected side with pillows to support my affected arm from leaning forward. I have a good memory foam pillow that is higher than some of the cheaper models that I have seen. It cradles my head/neck just perfect sleeping on my side, but I don't find it comfortable if I lay on my back (to read)
thanks finz!

I hate sleeping on my back too - before TOS i used to sleep on either side or my stomach and would love to be able to just drop off to sleep like i used to....now sleep has become a mission and just getting in the right position takes forever- its such a pain!. I havent tried ice packs yet - i have always found heat to be so soothing - i am going to get some asap to give it a try though....
