Hi! I, too, do well during the day, but do well at night, as well, as long as I only sleep on my left side (which have actually been doing before my Sept, 2019 diagnosis of severe spinal stenosis).

My doctor’s office has tentatively scheduled my surgery for later this month. I’m 73.
He’ll be doing “TLIF L3-L5”, which is Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion at Lumbar 3 - 4 & Lumbar 4 - 5. Best wishes & thanks to all for comments, draw
