How can it be that my back hurts when i don't get enough sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible Apnea: Not being able to sleep may indicated sleep problems that can be life shortening or life threatening. If apnea is occuring, you are experiencing oxygen desaturation multiple times during sleep that may produce back symptoms. The only way to know if there are serious problems is with an overnight sleep test. I encourage you to seek help.
