Back Pain In The Early Hours Of The Morning

[sretiolc]

My other half wakes up at about 4am with excruciating lower back pain. If he gets up and walks around for ten minutes it goes away.
It started about 6 months ago for no apparent reason. It happens wherever he sleeps so can't be the bed.
Anyone had similar problems or know how to cure it ??

I have the same problem, related to sciatica.

I get back pain if not allowed to move around through the night by the the OH.

it could be your mattress?

Get some extra pillows and get him to sleep with them under his knees, as high as is comfy. It helps a great deal with this sort of pain .

Also some simple strengthening back exercises a few times a week will help.

Jack - it happens wherever he sleeps ! I will get him to try pillows Mam.
It's peculiar that it happens the same time each morning - like an alarm clock
