I have lost 15 pounds because of the surgery and now my butt is flat and bony. Because of this I have a red mark on my lower back closer to my bottom. While having a test done the doctor said that the mark can turn into a bed/pressure sore. (I usually sleep about 8 - 10 hours, not that much time in bed - I don't think) He said because I am so thin my bones are poking me, and I should change sleeping positions during the night . I tried to sleep on my sides but it hurts my hips and when I wake up they still hurt. I sleep on a couple of blankets for cushion, but it doesn't seem to be enough. Does anyone have any suggestions?
