How can you sleep while experiencing lower back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain: Take an anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen before sleep. A heating pad is also very effective. Try a light massage of the area before lying down to sleep to loosen the muscles. Topical patches such as icyhot and creams such as bengay are also helpful.
