Terrible lower back pain at night in bed. What to do?

Posted by josho @josho, Mar 24 3:15pm

My lower back aches when I sleep at night in bed. I have to sometimes roll out of bed and support myself to stand up in the mornings. Within an hour or two of being out of bed the pain is gone. When I sleep in a recliner there isn't any pain. Ive went through xray, physical therapy, MRI, and now I'm doing pain management. I got 6 injections yesterday. If the pain was gone after the injections they would move to the next step. Eventually a radiofrequency ablation. After the injections I had to fill out a paper on how my pain was on a scale from 0 to 10. I told them and everybody leading up to pain management I dont have pain during the day. The injections had to show pain improvement to let them know they are in the right spot to proceed on. If they would of just read the charts from the previous steps i had to go through. ... Has anybody had these back issues and what have you done????
