Lower back pain only in morning

[SJMCRAE]

I wake every morning with horrible pain in lower back (kidney area) that radiates to the front of stomach (rib area).  I have had battery of tests and found nothing.  I am only able to sleep 5-6 hours before pain wakes me, also unable to take a deep breath until I get out of bed (very painful just to roll over), once I stand and get out of bed the pain almost immediately starts to ease.  After about 20 minutes of walking around and after first morning void, pain disappears for remainder of day.
Could this be a pinched nerve or nerve compression?  Had MRI of lower lumbar which showed normal...chiro recommends stretching excersises, something serious has to be wrong with this kind of pain.  If anyone has any ideas it would be GREATLY appreciated!!

OMG i thought i was alone (thank God for the internet)
Same thing horrible pain in the morning only. i have to grab onto something to help pull myself out of bed, trying my best not to bend my waist because i would scream bloody murder. I have to stay stiff as a board until i get up and walk around a bit before the pain subsides. WTFIT?

Its getting worsts its been 4-5 months now and i cant take it anymore.

Thought it was the bed...no sleep on both my daughters bed, same thing, slept on the floor etc. felt like Goldie locks.

SO WHAT IS IT?

I have slept for the last two days without pain!!!!!! :) :) :)

I had the same problem as most people in this forum for the last 4 months.

I still feel a bit of pain (10%) when I try to get up and still a bit once up, when bending the upper part of my body (30%).

The only new thing that I have done for the last two days is the PSOAS stretches (there are lost of examples in youtube). The improvement has been amazing!
I have also started sleeping on my side with a pillow between my knees.

I still think that the bit of the pain left will improve with general strengthening of the abdominal and back muscles. I will keep trying to rid myself of all pain and I will post if I manage.

Thanks CindiK and Hawnsun for my first two nights of proper sleep in months.

What a great find this forum is. Thank you all!!!! My horrific morning back pain has just gotten worse. I put up with it when it was mild without complaint because I'm 69 and well things just start sagging and dragging about now. I'm going to try several of the things mentioned on this forum. I had a yoga injury to my psoas several years ago (my own fault) and have forgotten how important it is to keep that muscle strong. My physical therapist is helping and suggests until we get things back in shape that I get up after the 5 or 6 hours of sleep when the pain begins and move around for 20 or 30 minutes and then go back to sleep if I can or take a nap in the afternoon. Because I'm retired this may be helpful. If I had to get up for work like most of you guys it would be a difficult option.  Besides the awful morning pain I've had to give up sleeping with my two cuddley kitties at night as they hog the bed, sleep on top of me and complain when I toss and turn in pain. So behind the closed bedroom door they softly complain and rush in as soon as I open the door in the morning. I think they sleep there all night. Ohhhh please, someone figure all this stuff out soon. In total compassion I join with you all and wish each one of you a pain free future. ♥

like "Bowderchoff" the only time I don't have lower back pain are the times when I've had a few drinks the night before. I've been suffering with this for almost 2 years, the pain goes away almost immediately upon getting up.

It makes me feel like it must have something to do with being dehydrated or too hydrated? it's totally weird
