Still in hospital neck very sore

Lynne

if you can manage a WhatsApp message and tell me what you want - I can bring it to the hospital. I’m probably the closest distance wise. Honestly…it’s no trouble.

Lynne K I was so pleased to see your post yesterday, I’m sure lots of people here have been worried about you. I hope some of the suggestions made can be realised and make you feel more comfortable soon.

I've known people with arthritic necks get relief by using a crepe bandage (or similar) tied loosely round the middle of a feather pillow to form a butterfly shape.

Good to hear from you Lynne, like others I’ve been concerned about you. I’m sorry you are in such pain. I use a pillow like the top one in Ellie’s post. It has been very helpful for my stiff neck. Sending a gentle hug xx

Oh Lynne. I'm so sorry.

Get out of hospital as soon as possible.

I love you too. xxxxx

[Lynne K]

Thanks all but no solution and I can’t type much longer so love to you all xxx

Lynne K good to hear from you , but sorry about the pain. I have got one of those butterfly pillows that Ellie has shown, but prefer a feather pillow that I can shape to what is most comfortable. Hope you can find some improvement. Love Heather xx

I'm so happy seeing you post lynne. Like others I've been thinking of you. Hold on in there even though its tough right now. Big hugs x

The photo doesn't do it justice Lynne.

I think the pillow Hakuna means is one of these, which I have used:

I also used a 'butterfly' pillow which has a cutaway neck part, like this one:

Both of the above pillows are memory foam which I eventually found too hard. Hope the physio comes up with a comfy solution for you asap. xx

Lynne K - good to hear from you. I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are getting on. I'm also wondering about pillows, so good question 🙂

Hi Lynne. Im so sorry you're in so much pain. I've been thinking of you and wondering how you are so thank you for posting.

I really hope you get sorted with pillows. I can't turn in bed although I can move my neck ok so I sleep supported by lots of soft feather pillows on top of memory foam ones. If I didn't or they're not right I get a really stiff neck. I would imagine hospital ones aren't great .

Hopefully someone can bring your pillows from home ASAP.

Thinking of you and sending love and hugs xxx

Thanks Mathew and hubby is bringing pillows tomorrow. Physio just called in and is referring me to orthotics re collars but I can still move my head left and right and support it xx

I hope you get sorted soon Lynne xx
