I started sleeping propped up in a sitting position due to a shoulder injury that causes extreme "holy ship my arm is breaking" pain when rolling over in bed.
Since doing that I wake up with almost no back pain! Considering getting one of those adjustable beds but it would cut into the 4 stroke motor fund....

be careful with those meds, read up on their classifications and side effects, have your wife read the effects as well so she can be aware of possible side effects. My daughter didn't react well with gabapentin, she turned evil. I took Tramadol and it didn't phase me any, some people it sends for a loop.
Our bed is definitely is part of the problem, I hated it when we bought it, and hate it even more now. I've been sleeping on the couch for the last three years. My wife wanted a pillow top bed and it sucks. I test drove a purple mattress this past weekend and I really liked it

We've been thinking about the Purple mattress too. Our Serta is about 7 tears old and pillow top too. Probably time to replace it. We want to get a king also. I tend to wake up with less back pain when I sleep on the couch. Mattress is kinda soft.
The meds help but I don't take them much. Makes me alittle moody sometimes! Definately sleep better taking them and wake up with less stiffness, but a little sleepy.

Been busy lately. I got a shot in my lower back about a month ago. Injection hurt like crazy but after four days it began to feel better. Had a six day shutdown two weeks later and with a little Biofreeze, made it through it. I can still feel it and its stiff when I first get up but its a lot better. Hope it lasts for a while!

the only way I sleep good anymore is on the couch, I think it keeps me from getting two twisted up while I'm sleeping. My couch has foam cushions, but I place a 3/4 sheet of ply under them.
BTW, if anyone wants an inversion table, make me an offer(boat parts, car parts, cool toys, good bourbon, etc...), located near Charleston SC

Yeah I seem to always sleep better on the couch or in my recliner. I asked the Dr. about the inversion table and he said I might get a little relief using one but didn't think it would help me much. I had already watched the video and wrote the number down for the teeter. Seems I make out ok as long as I can get plenty of rest which is hard to do around here!

oddly enough, Ive been doing some exercises to help with shooting that have really helped my back. Stand in a shooters stance, legs slightly bent, leaning forward, weight on your toes. Arms slightly bent, out in front holding a weight(i'm using 20 lbs). Hold it out front and count to 10, rotate to the left, count to 10, back to center, count to 10, right, 10, back to center, 10. it really helps with my core muscles, and has helped a lot wit my back, I haven't been to the range in a while, so I dont know if it helped with that or not
