How to sleep with may-thurner syndrome?

I know how uncomfortable that heavy feeling in the leg can get at night. Try wearing your compression stockings right up until bedtime, and then sleep with your legs slightly raised on a wedge pillow. It really reduces that throbbing sensation.

My doctor told me to elevate my legs to help the blood flow, so I just stack some textbooks under the foot of my mattress. It actually works and I don't have to worry about pillows sliding around while I sleep.

Leg swelling and heaviness makes it so hard to fall asleep, ho na. I just elevate my legs on a soft bolster pillow while sleeping on my back. It really helps the blood circulation and gives so much relief by morning, you should try it.

Keep your spirits high, beta, your body has a lot of strength to cope. Sleep peacefully on your back and place a soft pillow under your calves to help the flow of energy and blood. Take care of your health and stay positive.

Finding out about this condition made me so anxious, and every little ache in my leg kept me awake crying. It is a very scary feeling, but please know you aren't alone. Elevating your legs really does help physical comfort, which slowly calves the mind too.
