yeah! a lot of these are great to have around regardless of what others or yourself think about having them. they're marketed to older people, but they're for everyone of all ages and a litany of disabilities. something i always encourage others to get regardless of ability level is of those grabby claws to reach things so you don't need to risk falling off a stepstool if you have an episode of weakness.
wedge pillows are really good, and my fiance has one! i personally have a G-shape orthopedic body pillow; they allow you to sleep comfortably and without tossing and turning in all sorts of different positions. you can sleep in it like a pool inner tube, or lay on your side with your legs around the pillow to support your hips, etc. they're also usually 30$ or less on amazon!
yoga is incredible, and sometimes being able to do it is what turns my days from a potentially really high pain day to one where i can at least manage to get important tasks done on time. i have a lot of regimens i can do in different settings like in bed, on the couch, on the floor, etc. so i'm never in a position where i can't do them. stretching via yoga is also super good for releasing chemicals into the body to facilitate pain management and mood boosting! :D anyone who trashes on yoga is weak and will not survive the winter.
