A member asked:
My mother had (1) hip replacement surgery 6months ago and is wondering when she can sleep without a cushion btween her legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthopedic surgeon: Her orthopedic surgeon is better qualified to answer your question, but if the surgery was uncomplicated and she has no significant symptoms with sleeping,she should be able to try sleeping without the pillow and avoid widely spreading her legs which could stress her hip.
