My wife has had MS for the last 20 years and in that time, her spasticity has gotten worse. When she sleeps, her spasticity always turns her body so shes laying on her back. Consequently, she suffers from heel pain, which she describes as her heals "burning", which wakes her up. Therefore, she doesn't get much good sleep. We assume the heal pain is caused by the spasticity forcing her heels down into the bed, plus the added weight of the sheet and blanket. Trying to change positions doesn't help because she always ends-up on her back. We've tried pillows under her legs to elevate her feet off the sheets, but it has had limited success.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, what have you done to mitigate it?
