In excrutiating pain when I wake up- Please Help! UPDATED: CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND THEIR ORTHO?
Every morning for over a month, I have woken up with excrutiating back pain. I don't know what to do. I've tried sleeping in different positions (on my back, and both sides), sleeping with 1 pillow, 2 pillows, 3 pillows, pillow between my knees, and flipping my mattress.
I'm out of ideas- and I cannot wake up another day like this! I am beginning to dread going to sleep because I wake up in so much pain.
Can anyone help me- or give me suggestions on what to try?
Thanks!
Update:
Ok, Even though I hate going to the Dr- I've decided to go get it checked out by an Ortho. Can anyone recommend their ortho to me? I'm in Nassau County. Thanks!

i agree. DH has had some lower back pain the last few weeks and we went to a chiropractor to see what it could be from and he's been having electric massage treatments and heating pad treatments every other day and he's feeling great again. the # of days a week he goes will gradually reduce while the pain is going away.
definitely see a chiropractor. his is in carle place if you want a rec. good luck and feel better!

Chiropractor. I use Dr. Fred Jones in Merrick. he took my back pain away when another doctor could not get it to go away for 2 years. He is a great chiropractor. Is your mattress old?

The best advice I can give is go see your doc - I'm sure he/she will be able to figure it out and get you some pain relief!

Does this pain go away after you urinate?

And get an X-ray and/or MRI!
I waited years before I did anything and by then, I needed surgery.
But YOU have to insist on it!!

Re: In excrutiating pain when I wake up- Please Help!
I would see your Dr. My DH gets kidney stones and he wakes up in a lot of pain when he has one. Is it still there after you pee? Have you noticed any blood in your pee? The pain would be slighty higher up (not in your very lower back)

Re: In excrutiating pain when I wake up- Please Help!
if sleeping in diff positions isn't working - i would recommend going to see a doc. they will be able to help you pinpoint what is causing the problem and help you come up with a solution.
good luck!!!

As someone who has broken her back TWICE, I beg you to see an orthopedist before you go to a chiropractor. I LOVE the chiro, but go to a good ortho first.

I had back surgery and since then my Dr from NYU retired. He rec this practice to me. Even though it is in Commack and I am in Nassau, I felt that if he rec them I needed to go to them.
My original Dr. was one of the Dr's that operated on Gloria Estefan.
Here is the practice I now go to. Link

Thomas Dowling is considered one of the best orthopedists in the area. My husband used him many years ago, on the recommendation of physicians who are friends of ours.

Unfortunately, I lived in NC when I broke my back, so I don't have a good recommendation for up here.
Looks like you have some good ones, though! Good luck and feel better!
