my knees are driving me nuts

When I sleep I sleep on my side in a sort of fetal position. Well for the past few weeks it has hurt because I now have bones poking out on either side and they slam together when I sleep. I have always had fat there so there was cushion. I love the fact that I am losing weight but the bones that stick out drive me nuts. Now I have to put a pillow between them or I honestly can't sleep comfy. Anyone else have bones sticking out that aggrivate them? Shannon 363-235-170 -128#'s

Only those knee bones....they make me crazy in bed...i wondered about a pillow..but i do not remember them bothering me when i was small before...but they do get on my nerves

Hi Shannon I dont have that problem....YET But during ONE of my short live, successful weight losses years ago, I had the same problem. I also had to start sleeping eith a pillow between my legs. I actually miss sleeping with a pillow there in the summer when I sleep in shorts. Skin on skin drives me nuts with my thighs touching. But if I try to use a pillow now, with all the cusion I still have, using one pillow feels like 5. Amanda

not only do my knees hurt when they hit together but my ass bones make sitting on the toilet uncomfortable too! I'm going to get one of those padded seats! LOL nan

I can't wait for my ass bones to appear!!! They seem so very far away..... but I know they exist!

assbones is just plain funny. Mine drive me crazy too - It's only gonna get worse. Nancy

I sleep with a pillow between my knees after the surgeon said it helps align the spine while you're sleeping - and I've been having horrible sciatic trouble since my surgery. But - one of these days my knee bones will show themselves!!! Katie RNY 9/21/04 -70

Hi everyone, I just noticed the knee thing last night, it was very unconfortable for me. I sleep on my side too. Also yes I have found my ass bones even sitting in my chair at work I can feel them. I love it. I will try the pillow between my legs this my help the back pain I have been having. Hope all is well with everyone. Sonya 299/219/155
