Can you please recommend some effective sleeping positions to help a sore lower back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually, avoid : Sleeping on your stomach. Using a fetal or knee pulled up to chest position on either your right or left side with or without a pillow between your knees is a common recommendation as is sleeping on your back with your knees bent with pillows under them as well.
