A couple of things #1 if you have the cash get a new mattress, a quality mattress, this will do the job. #2, Poor man's solution, a piece of plywood between the box springs and the mattress, Sleeping on the floor always works for me and I've discovered that a "Therma Rest" Blowup mattress works as well. Visit a chiropractor you might need an adjustment. And do stretching exercises for the lower back.And recently I've started taking a supplement called "Ligaplex" with great results. Good luck!

Some people concentrate their stress in problem areas of their body. Headaches, stomach problems, backaches are the common ones. Whether you think you have stress or not (and we all do), stress management supplements are a good thing to use. B-50 complex, once or twice a day, are the cornerstone of stress reduction.\nValerian is very relaxing, physically and mentally, and can help with stress and back pain. There are several potencies out there, use as directed, but stay on the low dose side until you learn how to use it. Safe, effective, cheap. Medicine cabinet staple.\nBuilding up musculature (especially abdominal muscles) is key to back health.

Yes, my husband and I got one about a month and half ago and it IS really all that!!!  Especially if you have back problems or get that numbness or tingling from laying on your side for too long.....it anilates that.  Just don't put satin sheets on it like we did.....you'll slip and side everywhere!!!

Back ache is common in pregnancy and as far as I know it only gets worse as you go on, due to the stress on your spine and excess weight you will be carrying. Take lots of hot showers - can't beat heat therapy. Make sure you check with your doctor before applying any creams or gels, in case they affect your baby. it is unlikely but better to be sure. have a good pregnancy. Oh, you could try some gentle swimming or water exercises too. That may help. Say it at your pre natal checks too, as they may be able to advise you and bring you more comfort. Best of luck with it all.

I have had chronic back, hip, shoulder and neck pain for years. I bought a memory foam mattress on ebay for about 400.00 for a queen size, and I have never slept better. I don't wake up with pain from sleeping anymore. I really notice the difference if I sleep anywhere else, then I really miss my bed! I hear the sleep number beds are good, but I don't know of anyone personally who has one. One thing you can do is to go to a mall or mattress store, and try out the beds yourself. Ebay was the best price by far, and www.sportsmansguide.com also has good prices on them as well. Good luck!

Well padded.        \nAdjustable height.\nWide width.\nEven if it does hold the weight of you and your client, make sure it's wide enough. A lot of them are very sturdy but not very wide.  It's uncomfortable for overweight people to have their hips and arms hanging off the sides and they can't relax fully if they're trying to make themselves small.\nMy sister is an LMT and she uses twin-bed sized "egg crate" foam mattress pad under the bottom sheet--she said she gets more compliments on it and how comfortable it is. They are not that expensive--department stores often have them on sale.\nIf you will be working on pregnant women, consider one with a belly cut-out (like the removable face keyhole some have).

How wonderful that you and your wife have adopted a daughter! Congratulations! Perhaps you should tell you wife you're a light sleeper and you sleep better on the couch. And that your rest is very important to you as you don't want to suffer from lack of it and your goal is to get a bigger house so you can once again enjoy sleeping her.

if you have a pain that lasts more than a couple of days, go see a doctor, because it could be more dangerous than you think. but if you are able to move around and it just hurts when you sit in a certain position or sit for to long, try a back patch. they work pretty well. also try the cold/hot. try a cold patch then a hot patch and continue to alter it. also try taking hot showers and letting the water roll down your back. you are also try sleeping on your side instead on your back, and then again you can try sleeping on the floor for a few nights. if you don't like sleeping on the floor, get a piece of wood (old door) and place between your mattress and spring, to give you extra support. try to take it easy for a while. it better to take care of it now than later.

it doesn't matter if your mattress is top of the line - is it comfortable? all that matters is that you are comfortable on it... not what design it is.\n\nalso, you might want to check out your pillow. if it's too low or too high, it will definately affect you. (ask your chiropractor about it)

Many many women experience back pain with pregnancy because of the weight of the baby, posture or just the positioning of the baby in the owmb. However, INTENSE back pain is not normal and could be a sign of premature back labor. Either way talk to your doctor.

I have minor scoliosis in my lower back.  The only problem I had while being pregnant and giving birth was the back pain during the last two months of my pregnancy.  I had a natural labor with no epidural.  I think that one problem with scholiosis and epidurals are that with the curvature of the spine, the epidural can sometimes be uneffective if it can't reach both sides of the spine equally because of the curve.  There are lots of types of pain medications and epidurals.  Your doctor will know what type to give if he/she knows your problem.  Don't hesitate to ask BEFORE you go into labor so that they know the problem before hand.
