Decrease backpain by sleeping with legs elevated ?

To decrease backpain and legpain and footpain, have people had luck actually sleeping with their legs elevated using a hospital bed?

I would be interested in any good or bad experiences.

Thank you.

Re: Decrease backpain by sleeping with legs elevated ?

i put a pillow onder my legs and it does help the back pain.its also a catch 22 because with my legs elevated my muscles tighten up alot quicker.i have stenosis which causes my legs to ache constantly.

since day 1 i always felt a little better elevating my legs.most times i place a pillow under my knees but sometimes a small pillow just at the top of my thighs,right below the butt takes pressure off the lumbar spine.
