I have found if I am in bed longer than 6 hours, I have a hitch in my git-a-long, lower back pain, then have to take Ibuprofen and sit on a heating pad.

Sitting up helps relieve pain, NIKK sleeps sitting up because of her back IIRC.

Hope you get some relief.

From yesterday ...

Please listen to me. I suffered from having hairline fractures all over because my bones were in an alarming range. As the doctor said I was a china doll waiting to break at any moment. No back pain during this time. I was tired 24/7 and complained to my doctor for a couple of years. At work a friend forced me to put my finger in a test contraption of some sort and it measured my bone density. Well, my number registered apparently so high the girl working the health fair made me promise I would not work the next day but instead go immediately to my doctor and show her my results.

To get to the point after a hospital test which was ordered immediately I was told I had an appointment with a Lily pharmaceutical nurse and she showed me the shots I would be giving myself for 2 years in my stomach.

FORTEO...it raised my density score..never heard of before the medicine. The medicine webbed me over inside my bones. SO...you wonder how certain RICH people can live so long...you need not wonder...I was given this medicine over 10 years ago. No telling how long it had been available for CERTAIN people.

My husband worked (recently retired) for Humana and we had excellent insurance. AND..the big AND..most people aren't aware of....when an insurance company tries to tell you they won't pay...as they tried us after the three months...you keep calling every day asking to talk to someone higher up and you will eventually find someone to ok your medicine.

NOW..the final message...if you are laying for hours on your back...the worst part is lifting yourself up from that position. BUT...if you have slept already in a halfway sitting position your pressure has already been eliminated and I PROMISE you will see a difference. END of sermon....lol At 20...I had a 40 year old spine...so at 70 I must have over a 90 year old spine. I do not live in back pain.
