Hi there all, I am a newbe to this site and am going for right hip surgery Jan 12th. I have been reading the site for about a week and I have read some great information as to what I can expect. I elected to have the Right Hip first as it will take the longest to recover from. The one question that I haven't seen much on is about choice of Beds or how to sleep with the restrictions of the pillow between the legs. I can't lay flat on my back as I also have lower back issues, stenosis, bulging disc etc. So I sleep on my sides, having said that how do you get into bed and sleep with a new Hip? Do people rent hospital beds that rise up? Also anyone dealing with severe cramping of the thighs or feet after the Hip operation? I mean the ones that make you scream and almost pass out?
