Losing weight has cost me a fortune in chiropractor bills because I can't sleep in the same position any more and my big boobs prop me up too far when I sleep on my stomach and puts my lower back out.

Oh wow, I've threw my hips and back out a few times while asleep and never figured out how! I wonder if this is why! I'll mention it to my osteopath next time. I feel your pain!

My xiphoid process really freaked me out at first when I lost enough weight for it to show up (I'm a breast cancer survivor, so . . . .).

I'm sorry for your pain but I am SO glad you posted this. I'm having the exact same issue at the moment and had started to wonder if I was doing something wrong while lifting weights at the gym which would cause the back pain. Then I realised it was only when I got up in the morning. New sleeping position required! (Only ANOTHER lifetime habit to change... )x

P.S. What sleeping position, if any, has been recommended to you?

My habit has been to sleep with the bottom leg extended, top bent, and my top half face down. That's what's been killing my back! I was told to try a couple things, to have both knees bent, or to pop a spare pillow under the top bent knee. I can fall asleep with both bent, but revert, but have had success with the pillow idea! It must mirror when my fat thighs used to pad me out haahaa

And that's exactly how I sleep! I'll try the pillow tonight for research and pain relieving purposes!

Oh, and my thighs are still fat but I have less stomach so maybe I'm 'dipping' in the middle when I lie on my front causing the pressure on my hips and back? Just a thought anyway!x
