Here's the scoop. For the past 2 weeks, I wake up to the most severe back pains, and its usually between 3am and 4am. Sometimes, its so bad i can't fuckin move, and when i do try to move it hurts even worse. Its been times where it has taken me about 2-3 minutes just to sit the fuck up. The only way to alleviate the pain is to sit completely upright in the bed and apply a heating pad on my back as well. And i just try to sleep the next few hours sitting upright. Usually this pain remains after I'm up and walking around for about an hour, then goes away. I don't feel the pain any more for the entire day. Even when i lay back down in the bed to go to sleep, I'm fine. But as soon as it gets between 3 & 4am,....im woken up out of my sleep by this pain.....feels like im stabbed in the fuckin back. And its not my lower back.....more like the middle part. My wife thinks maybe we need a new bed. But im open for suggestions.

I’ve been dealing with lower back pain for 20 years. Some days I couldn’t stand up straight and barely walk. Zero gravity chair saved me everytime. My last episode took 3 days of not moving out of chair to get me back to normal.

I’m positive I have arthritis in my lower back now. If I don’t exercise everyday it starts to creep back up.
 
If you are able, get an MRI to really see what's going on with your back.
Trust me, I suffered from lower back pain for years and finally got an MRI and found out that I had two severe bulging disks.
All the stuff people pointed out is good advise, but it helps to know what's really going with your back with an MRI.
I just bought an inversion table and that seems to be helping.
I generally get epidural shots every 6 months to help me with the pain.
Good Luck....

see a doctor not a chiropractor...if necessary get an MRI...avoid surgery/ignore suggestions to have surgery @ all costs unless you’re in constant agonizing pain 24-7...a good doctor will tell you the same...I don’t know how active you are...physical therapy may be recommended
 
have you gained any substantial excess weight in the last five years...

have you been in a car accident or fell down hard since your back started hurting..

I was having slight back pain, when I realized I was doing too much running and not enough weight training,

I started doin inclines and bent over rows every other day, my back feels like it did when I was a senior in high school...

my doggie style game strong son!!!!
 
Definitely go to a back specialist and have an mri. I have two herniated discs but they don't really bother me anymore. You don't want to start treating shit and it be something else. Inversion was extremely helpful for me. You will also need to get a proper bed for your back and strengthen your core too. But Dr first.
 
Do you or have you sat for along time on something like a cushion, clothes in a chair? Do you sit with your wallet in your back pocket? This could be the cause. You are gonna have to stretch your back. Don't do any stretches that involves twisting your back. Oh and massage your back too.

nah i dont sit on cushions or clothes, but i do have my wallet in my back pocket alot.
however, like i said ....this isn't something that has been going on for years and years,....just happened within the past 2 weeks....and its usually for around an hour or 2 a day.
when the pain kicks in......laying flat down on my back, or on my side, or on my stomach is not an option.
sitting str8 up is the only thing that alleviates it. which is confusion, because you'd think if it was something serious, you'd want pressure to be taken off your spine and lie down instead of sitting up.

Get a really firm Mattress

If your 7 feet tall, what size mattress do you have?

By all means see a doctor. None of these suggestions should be tried before you see a doctor. Hell, some of the exercises suggested have nothing to do with the back muscles that support you.
 
Calcium deposits effects your arteries and joints - inflammation. Most folks are very deficient in K2.

Vitamin K1 is necessary for bloodclotting.
Vitamin K2 is necessary for the redistribution of calcium - relieves inflammation.

Consuming K2 helped with my ankle and severe back pain that I had been suffering from for years.

life changing.

Doesn't have anything to do with hurting for a long time, it has to do with age. Keep your wallet in your front pocket. Don't be lifting shit that would take 2-5 people to lift. Your body does weird shit when you hit your late 30s. Like you can lift some shit that takes 5 people and your back goes out 2 weeks later. There are warning signs before your back goes out though, like lower back muscles stiff and sore. I've been going through that shit off and on since my late 30s. Last year I couldn't walk because it was do bad. Laying down was a problem, getting up was a problem and standing was the only comfortable position. Then eventually I couldn't stand, walk, Iay down, sit down cause the pain was so bad. I had to hit the emergency room. They doped me up and nothing they gave me helped. I went to a chiropractor and I think he fixed it. It's hard to tell if the goofy shit he was doing helped or if it just stopped.
 
change your clocks!

In all seriousness, I'm experiencing the same thing, I know I've gained some weight and now its effecting my back.. my core is weak.
 
Sleep on your side and curl your knees in a lil towards your chest. It helps align your spine while sleeping. Also if the pain is severe, place a pillow between your legs while sleeping on your side. It sounds emasculating as fuck but it does serve the purpose of aligning your spine and definitely works.
 
Fucked up my back at 19 and been dealing with back problems over 2 decades. Found out by accident that sleeping on the floor helps. Sounds strange. I know. Can only tolerate beds for so many days in a row. :smh:

I now have fewer flareups than I did in my early 20s.

Family is used to it and understands why I need to do it. Fuck surgery.
 
My back went out for about two three weeks. I was also waking up in pain and sitting down for more than ten minutes pain. I just stayed on my feet for the majority of time and it went away on its own. That was about six years ago and I've never had a problem since then.
 
@Coldchi as a chronic back pain sufferer, my assumption is my years of heavy lifting, when I used to work for EMS, then later went and did IT, just as you do, so did a lot of sitting. I was a lot bigger back then, and lost weight and did core strengthening as well.

BUT, your major issue too may be that wallet. I used to sit on my wallet all day at work, and driving, was also sitting on it. You are possibly sitting on your sciatic nerve and will cause that pain. I now have a minimalist wallet and carry very few cards and cash and it stays in my front pocket.

Your mattress may not be it, I used to think the same thing, til I strengthened my stomach muscles. Also, DO NOT do incline walking on a treadmill, did that before and it knocked me out of commission for a week.

I used to have yearly back pain every Feb-Mar that would put me in bed for week. Getting up just to use the bathroom was painful as hell. For years now, haven't had any issues with my back. I think it was just a combination of things.

Also if you have a weight lifting brace, you can strap that on and that should relieve the pain, if it does, then you know your core is in need of tightening up.

Also check these out, never used them, but years after with the wallet thing, I realized I was sitting on my nerve for so many years.

Best of luck to you, but I don't wish it on anyone, I know how you feel.

Also what helps with chronic pain like this is called Gynostemma Tea, you'd have to take it daily. But it isn't a cure.

ALSO, DO NOT do any exercising of your core until the pain goes away and a few days after. WAIT. You will further continue the aggravation of the area of pain.

Man I messed my back up a couple of weeks ago foolishly doing one of those reach and twist moves. I could hardly get out of bed or stand up. Besides rest and more fluids. I used salonpas and some acupuncture. I also purchased a tens unit from meijer.

Amazon product ASIN B00KPLDX3U
I felt pain in the middle of my back as well as my low back. Searched around and found out it could possibly be a combination of my QL and erector muscles. When I had more mobility I started doing some stretches (calispine) to relax my QL muscles and used the tens unit in the evening rotating between QL attachment points. I was good in about 10 days. I will need to strengthen my core.
