Just curious..... y does my back hurt wen i lay flat w/o pillows? will this affect me if i ever have to gt any type of laying medical testing?

Muscle tightness: This is not uncommon. Most people are more comfortable on their back with knees bent. You are feeling a pull from tight muscles. Frequently during imaging such as mri, a wedge pillow is placed under the knees to increase patient comfort. However, you can help this by doing regular stretching of your hamstrings.
