Anyone else get injuries in bed?

I have been waking up with injuries and a sore body. I am down 35 lbs and toss and turn more freely. Should I staple myself to the sheets? I wonder why this is happening. :baath:

I am curious..what KIND of injuries? Any chance you walk in your sleep? I gotta confess..bed is one place I have always been safe from injury...cept maybe a love bite or passion mark here or there...but that's another story! Sher'

Well how much weight have you lost and how old is your mattress. My surgeon warned me that once I have lost a significant amount of weight I would need to replace my mattress. This is because it would have a depression in the place where I typically lay and my body's new curves would try to fall into it's old depression and I would not sleep comfortably. Eventually it would throw off my back and I would wake up sore and restless. I have started to experience this and hubby has agreed to buy a new mattress set when he gets back from overseas... YEAH! Also, if you are a restless sleeper you may hit things in your sleep and not realize it. With vitamin deficiencies we heal slower and bruise easier. HTH!

I agree with Jamie... I noticed that when I lose weight the same thing happens with my shoes....when my feet start to hurt at work I know it's time to buy new shoes! I also noticed that I wake up feeling a little sore and never made the connection to my mattress until now. I definitely need a new mattress will probably try flipping it over until then.

LOL! If flipping the mattress does not work, try putting a sheet of thin plywood between the mattresses to add support until you can swing a new mattress. I am saving up for one of those memory foam ones I think. I want hubby to build me a platform bed this year.
