it does help, but I also stretch everyday, so I think stretching and the pillow helps with my sciatic pain.

This is going to be largely dependent upon factors we don't know such as your weight, and what is actually causing the pain. You may be better served by trying cushions in-person, to make your selection.

HelloThis cushion is designed to position lower back including tail bone in place and this helps sciatica ( that's back pain from pinching of a nerve between vertebra that radiate to hip,groin and leg sometimes )I got this cushion for my right hip pain and seems to be helping me so far but I just start using it so not too sure if the cushion will keep its shape and continue to help me.So I would say it may help but if you have Body Bath and Beyond or other stores that carry it, try it first to be sure.

I believe it will aid in comfort for your hip. My mother-in-law has her right hip hurting even tho it is her tailbone that was cracked. This is her third day with the pillow and she has found it to be her new friend. She was able to cut back on her pain pills and sit comfortably.

Since the seat is wider than most it should provide more support. Not sure if this extra support helps a back problem. however.I would check with your doctor.

I believe yet, it would help. Falling while pregnant is actually what broke my tailbone and has caused me so much pain since then. I don't think this pillow would work if you are very heavy. If you are under 170, I think it will work for you. May the birth of your baby be a blessed day. Judith

Did it help your back? I am buying it for the same reason to cover my firm tempur mattress which gives me soooooo much back ache

Talk to your doctor. There is A LOT of twisting which is not good for backs, depending on what your issues are.

That is what I used this pillow for most of the time. I liked having the flat side against my lower leg and the round side against my top leg. The pillow stayed in place. I rested the pillow lengthwise from my knee to my ankle which gave my whole leg support. I had tried the "knee" pillow that had a Velcro strap but it did not work for me at all! The strap did NOT hold it in place when I rolled over, it was harder then I liked and it hurt my hip (I had hip replacement) as it tilted my leg down as I rested my ankle on my lower leg. Hope this helps you in making your decision.

I don't know if this will improve or worsen your specific situation, but I bought the gentle support model and it was plenty firm. It did take me several days to get used to the side sleepimg parts of the pillow, but I've tried going back to other pillows I have and wind up with neck pain again, so I have found this product very helpful for me.

I am a tummy sleeper as well, and have found my pillow is a bigger problem than the bed. I don't sink into this bed much at all (it's nicely supportive) so my back/neck is more bothered when my pillow is too thick. I've found a thin pillow is best to avoid the arching that causes aches and pains. I use a hull pillow so I can adjust the thickness, and between that and this bed my back has given me very little trouble.

No!! You have to get off your ass and exercise to help lower back pain. There are no miracle cures.

Yes. It will do. I have neck problems and need a pillow that is extreme smooshy and was hesitant to order something online and not smooshy tested. But I'm happy to say I've been very happy with this pillow. You can't go wrong with this one.

I believe it would be a good pillow to use if you have neck and shoulder pain and sleep on your side. The pillow is firm and supportive enough to keep your neck in a comfortable position. It is also flexible enough to shape to conform to individual preferences.

Absolutely yes. I have cervical (neck) issues and this pillow makes a world of difference for me. It is designed to give the perfect contour and support. Wouldn't want to go back to living without it. Hope this helps!

We'll I have sciatica nerve pain which radiates from lower back into hip & down my thigh. It help relieve some pain but I also use cold and heat packs with muscle relaxers. It depends on how bad off your hip is . But it is also a good support for hip, thigh, and groin. It's worth a try for the price verses having surgery.

The queen size firm pillow helped me. I'm a side sleeper and had a pinched nerve in my neck. The pillow helped but, now one is higher than the other. I did rotate the pillows weekly. I prefer the higher pillow now.

I have always used the Tri-core pillow, standard size, and have always been happy with it. I lay on my back and side and it works beautifully, no neck issues. Hope this helps

Most of my problems stems from upper neck strain thru work, my Dr recommend it. Ihave been using this pillow for at least 8 years already and since buying the pillow reducedmy appts to dr quite a bit. Just make sure you fill it according to your needs and burp out the air, you will know if you have a air bubble. It also will depend how you sleep, I would try ityou can always return it Good Luck

I have arthritis in my neck and suffered incredible neck pain & severe headaches. I purchased the Tri-Core, Standard regular size pillow. It took about a week for my body to adjust to it and now I rarely wake up with the pain. Hope it works for you.
