A member asked:

Better to lie prone or supine with low back disc pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Everyone different: In general i encourage people to mix rest, sleep and injury specific exercise, and the sleep phase should be done in the most comfortable position possible to maximize rest and recovery.
