From the Ashes

So my doctor said that to combat my back pain I should try a few things. He said he had the same problem and to fix it he changed his bed, strengthened his stomach, and bought a hanging sling from Sport Chalet. He mentioned that he bought a Tempurpedic and returned it for the Sleep Number because it was ineffective in helping his back pain. His sleep number was about 50, so midrange. He also hangs from the ceiling with the sling and does leg raises. This, he said, was to help stretch out the spine. He also mentioned that strengthening his stomach muscles help support the lower back.

My symptoms: low/mid back pain every morning after sleeping. I upgraded to the Tempurpedic with no change in my back pain. I’m 30. Lack of sleep is my other symptom
