My Husband Is Having A Problem After Getting Into Bed Where He Is Unable To Push Himself Backwards Into A Sitting Position. What Can We Do?

Exercise works for me! You got to keep moving and not stay in bed, which is to easy when in pain!👍 I wanted to add that I got a hospital bed which has small rails on each side of the bed for I can grasp to get up and a remote control to position my head, body and feet, to add comfort.

- Sleep Hygiene: Establish a consistent bedtime routine to improve Show Full Answer
