Hi Etna, I had to learn to sleep on my back, as a former side sleeper. Had extra pillows under my head and another at the side for my arm - somehow I felt I needed the arm propped up. Horrible at first but I got used to it. Pillows were the key. Happily I’m now back to side sleeping but it took ages for it to feel ok. Xxx
