I’m sure it has something to do with the weight loss but I can’t sleep on my sides for long periods of time because my hips and knees will start to hurt and wakes me up. Strange that it’s done it since I lost 85lbs. You would think it would have done that when I was over 300lbs. Anyone else have this issue and what did you do for it. I’m a side sleeper and sleeping on my back is killing me.

I’m a stomach sleeper or snuggle a body pillow but at night I like to lay sideways while I watch tv. It makes my hip hurt like no other some days but it’s because my hips are way more bony.

Try sleeping with a pillow or special between your knees pillow. When I lay watching tv I stick a pillow between my knees. Snuggling a body pillow with one leg thrown over really helps me but that’s closer to stomach sleeping than side.

@KateBruin I do that. I have tons of pillows. I guess it’s not an abnormal thing. I thought it was maybe my mattress but it’s only 3 years old and cost more $$ than I want to admit. Lol. Maybe as time goes my body will adjust to having less padding.

My chiropractor told me I'd like suffer joint pain during weight loss because joints would be adjusting to new weight as you drop and that it could take up to 6 months after the rapid weight loss stopped for the joints to no longer ache.

My joint pain started about 2 months out and has been off and on since that time, but good news is that joints that first hurt no longer do, but other joints kick in with pain for a bit and then also alleviate. I have high hopes when I reach goal it will go away.

I have an incredible tempurpedic with a bajillion pillows. But I also have a joint autoimmune condition so it’s probably a shitty combo of less padding and my ankylosing spondylitis. It sucks but I’ll take it over being fat and sweaty 24/7 lol

I agree. I take my ache joints over that as well. I have noticed I get cold now. I have to run my heater at work and I’m going to have to invest in a real coat this winter. Lol.

I get cold too! I used to never get cold and was actually always sweaty. Like I could wear flip flops in below freezing and was fine. Now, I had to get a space heater for my bathroom for showers and when I’m in there brushing my teeth or whatever. I also went clothes shopping and didn’t get sweaty trying stuff on. It’s incredibly bizarre! I don’t remember a time when I got cold except in extreme temps.
