For the past 3 weeks. i have been waking up in the middle of the night with lower back pain, always in the same area (lower right back). it doesn't matter what position i lay in and i have tried different pillows. pain goes away when i get up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use a firm mattress or sleep on the floor with a sleeping bag or a thin foam mattress. Pillow has no effect on back pain.
