Painful sleep

Hi,

My name is Michelle. My sister has lung cancer which has masteases to bone, the spine causing spinal cord compression. 

It's fractured her ribs and its in some lymph nodes.

Our problem is that she can't sleep... Lie down because it is so painful.

Can anyone please suggest something that is known to help her.?

  • I don't know if it'll help but my wife was run over by a lorry broken pelvis and back and leg pain for years we tried various mattresses of different types and finally got air mattress so we could adjust pressure to suit and a really thick duvet on top. 

    Also got a really soft leather recliner with an air cushion she could lay up comfortably and if wanted sleep on that as well. 

    Both helped her. Hope others will join with ideas. 

    She has hospital bed with air mattress but she preferres chair mostly.

  • Hi there,

    Thank you for your reply. It actually made sense when I read it. I will definitely be getting her an airbed and give it a try.

    Thanks again
