Lack of sleep…

Tuesday had stones removed and a stent put in. I’ve been taking the prescribed meds, drinking water, etc, but sleeping during the night has been an issue. I’ve been lucky to get 4 hours in. Stent removal isn’t for another week (Thursday). What’s everyone’s experience on getting some rest/relief?

Stone Fighter #D39453Apr 12, 2026I could only sleep on the couch until mine was removed. Having the back of the couch support my back without too much pressure made it a little less uncomfortable.
Stone Fighter #B1A014Apr 12, 2026Ah, good idea. I do have a recliner too. Might be the same type of pressure relief. Will definitely try both tonight. Thanks!!
Stone Fighter #D39453Apr 12, 2026I found the best result laying on my right side stent on left just slightly leaning against the back of the couch for support. My bed was too hard and a pillow behind my back in bed did not help at all. Sleep was still hard but way better this way.
