I'm a 26 yr old Male, who currently suffers from back pains in the mornings. Other than the back pains, I would say that I am a healthy and fit person.
The pain only occurs in the mornings. As soon as I get up and start moving around, and stretching out the back, the pain starts to dissappear, with only a slight tingle left during the day, but not really noticeable.
I've tried so many things:
- Celebrex (this helped to relieve the pain, however as soon as I stopped using it, the pain instantly came back. I don't want to be taking drugs for the rest of my life).
- Chiro, this seemed to only provide temp. relief also, but the pain is still there.
- Osteopath, same as Chiro, however has helped my correct my posture.
- I've tried accupuncture, and again this hasn't helped.
- Fearing the worst, I went to the doctors and told them about the pain, and he ordered an xray for my back and this came back fine.
- I've changed my mattress twice now to one that is designed to support the back.
- I've paid attention to my pillow, and have changed that too, to one that provides greater support (latex - dunlopillow)
- I try to exercise regularly, and pay particular attention to stretching out the back.
I believe that the pain must be associated with the way that I sleep. However how does one control how they sleep when they are unconcious. I sleep on my back and sides (when I'm aware). When on my side I bend my knees slightly.
I've had this pain for about 1 year now, and I'm getting very concerned. Any suggestions?
