I won't pretend to know what it is like to go through back pain. From freinds I know that go through it, I do know it is tough.

I hope this will not sounds stupid, but I grew up sleeping on a very hard bed. So hard that if you plop down backwards and hit your head you don't go to sleep, it knocks you out.

Then when I came to the U.S. I found the beds to be very soft - even the most firm bed I could find. I started to have neck pain from an old injury and I was getting terrible headaches.

I don't know what made me think of it but I thought it might be the soft bed. I went to the lumber yard and got two sheets of plywood and set them on top of the mattress with a very light blanket pad.

About a week had passed and I was going about my normal routine when I stopped and took notice that I had not had a headache in three days and my neck felt very much better.

Eventually we got rid of the mattress altogether.

If you are having back or neck pain, you might give this a try.
