MY back has been hurting me over the last 3 days, but only when I lay on my back or sides when I sleep. During the day I have no pain. It is pretty severe and does not allow me to sleep. The pain starts slowly until it wakes me up and I am unable to sleep. It is pretty severe pain that is not reduced much with advil. It almost feels like it is radiating from my kidneys, but the kidney area is not tender to the touch. I tried using a 2 foam pad thinking it was my mattress but it did not seem to help at all. Could it be the mattress?
Hello, As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or diclofenac for pain relief.  It may be due to spine related conditions. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
