I had the knee thing too allison, i always used to use a pillow, but i think my knees reluctantly gave in to falling asleep with bones poking at them.

Not so much my bottom, but my knees of all things. I lie on my side when falling asleep and I found that my thighs must have gotten smaller and therefore didn't keep my knees far enough apart so my knees would knock and hurt. I tried a pillow between my knees, but that just kept me awake. Instead I have to lie with one leg behind the other instead of resting on top of the other.
I wash just about to write that!

Yeah, I actually do ok with a pillow between them (a very thin, flat one) but I was so weirded out when I realized that lying on my side was uncomfortable because my knees were bruising each other!

Yes, I get the tailbone and the knee issue too! So far I can just change my sitting position to relieve the tailbone and I just move my legs from off each other when the knees get uncomfortable.

I've also experienced when I'm laying flat on my back to sleep that my at least one of my feet will have to be pointing straight up with the weight on the heel. That starts to hurt. So I try to lay where both my feet can be resting on their sides.

Wow I just had this conversation with my DH last night at dinner. I was like "um why all of a sudden does my butt hurt in these (wood) chairs?"

My hips also protrude in strange ways now that they didn't before. I haven't truly seen them like this since before kids and I don't remember them popping out like this. And my collarbones although that one doesn't bother me

I find that I shift around a lot more when sitting as well because I can feel my tailbone easier. Also, at night when lying on my side I have to shift position because my hipbones hurt.

OH MY GOODNESS! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is experiences this!! I hate sitting on hard surfaces now..it..HURTS! I have no padding there anymore! I simply feel my bones. I'm glad I've lost the weight, but it's one of the things I never really thought about before..how odd..

I have definitely noticed a difference in the "cushioning" on my tush, too, haha. For example, after I spent ~7 hours in a car on the way home for Thanksgiving, my butt was SO SORE--and I could tell that it was from sitting in the hard seat for so long. But I've never had that problem before, lol.
