Hi and Welcome Bleecker,
You're right it has been interesting reading all of the different ways we try to make ourselves a little more comfortable.
I have always been amazed that it is recommended to lie flat on our backs. I could not do that if you paid me. My hips freeze up and I am in unbearable pain. I have to sleep on my right side, (bursitis in left hip). I have a sleep number bed and I think I sleep pretty well. A little Ambien helps too.
And as for standing in lines, forget it! If I am having a reasonable day that is one way to really mess it up.
I spend a lot of time in a recliner in our family room. (When I am not driving the kids all over town to their activities, which are numerous. I clocked 800 miles in 2 1/2 weeks!)
Anyway I hope you find the right recipe for your pain relief and comfort.
