A member asked:
I have back spasm and pain for about 10 days that seems to be worse in the morning. could it be due to my raised bed head (about 6) that i have done due to acid reflux?

It is possible. Depending on the Posture and Attitude one takes while Sleeping Muscle spasm/ strain and associated pain may result from 'Raised Head of Bed'. One can try balancing one's self with pillows as well. But most importantly treatment of the Acid Reflux by the PCP/ Gastroenterologist comes first.
