I have terrible back pain which stops me from sleeping at night. If I do get some rest, I wake up and the pain to shift position fully wakes me up.
I stretch throughout the day and try to exercise - am I making it worse? If I'm standing for a period of time or walking around the shops etc, the pain is quite intense. It's alleviated if I sit down but then if I sit for long periods it gets sore too . This has been going on for about four months. I have stepped up my exercise regime in recent months, could this be to blame? Weirdly, it feels better after I've done exercise and loosened it up
I know I should go to a Doctor about this and I will, but I would like anyone who has experienced similar to tell me how they get relief or what might be causing it? I haven't taken painkillers yet but I'm almost at that stage. Disruptive sleep is disturbing DH too
