Image from WikipediaI can be so hard to get a full night’s sleep with back pain. As expected, it hurts so much it becomes impossible to stay asleep even if you manage to fall asleep. Of course, trying to get out of bed with back pain just makes the whole experience worse.
There are some tips you can follow to make lying in bed less painful. Hopefully, if you follow the tips you can get some decent rest. One of the best sleeping positions for the body with back pain is on your side with your knees bent at 90 degrees. This relieves some of the pressure on the spine. If your hips or back hurt in this position, you can place a pillow between your knees to keep the hip joint level and the lower back straight. When getting out of bed, don’t even dare trying quick movements. Instead, you should slowly edge your way to the side of the bed and then push yourself up with your arms. That way you don’t use your back muscles as much.
