A member asked:
Should i use a firm or soft pillow for my sore right side of my back? i sometimes wake up on my right side sore
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore back: I suggest you try both and see which feels better and stick with that. If you happen to have a foam pillow, try that. But don't go out to buy one now! Trial and error with the pillows and also try to see if a change in your sleeping position might resolve the problem completely.
