Archie , yes I have in the past but lately I try to sleep in center of bed just for that reason knowing how that felt waking up to that feeling. I feel like I am sleeping on a board. Just got a new matress and bed to downsize from a king but the queen is great size that I can get my walker right up beside bed and it more room for movement. I sleep with numerous pillows to put between my legs and support my back and shoulders . I'm sure you can relate , I can't take muscle relaxers due to so much weakness. I'd be afraid of falling , and breaking something besides my foot ( 4 bones ,but supposedly healed) it still gives me arch pain.
I have slept with those doughnut pillows only it's painful in my lumbar.
Yesterday my good right leg was showing numbness and and couldn't take a step but thank God I seen it wasn't moving before I went forward or would have been in floor face first. I just started to get up and looked down, it wasn't moving as hard as I tried , I'm really paying attention at all times bc just bc you think it's moving , it may not be due to those signals getting lost in translation to my feet.

Great that you are hyper aware that what you feel may not be what is!! Yes, be very careful until your signals are consistent. Seems obvious, but these are quality of life recommendations!!
Now if we could just find a cure for arachnoiditis! Archie
