Oh, how I can relate! Exhausted from lack of sleep

You're not alone , we are on the same boat . God bless ♥️

Have you tried multiple pillows to prop your body in place? Try floor sleeping, it’s amazing. Just make a real plump/comfy palate and give it a try beyond a week. The first two nights will different- but after that it help to keep my pain away and stiffness

Try sleeping on a recliner chair/sofa it will help sleeping comfortable

Omg I hear you!!! I thought I had some kind of hip problem from running but I recently found out it’s arthritis in my back. I never sleep well.

@@christine9467 try using TENS machine hope it relief pain without any side effects

You are so welcome! Brad

For leg cramps try taking Calcium supplements with Magnesium...worked for me, I had terrible calf and thigh cramps at night.

Try sleeping in a recliner chair/sofa it might help sleep better

who the fuck sleeps on their back🤣

@@300apes people with injured shoulders. Can't sleep on your side, no way. I've been sleeping on my back for 6 years after a torn rotator cuff with two surgeries to repair. Now I have nerve damage which is forever. I am not alone, there are thousands of us forced to sleep on our backs.

You can adjust the hinges to straighten/align them.

We like to avoid spinal injections if we can, however sometimes they may be necessary.

@@BobandBrad I'm just at my witts end. I've tried everything and have been patient. I'm just not sure what else to try.

SleepOvation, its in the description box.

Have you ever tried doing some exercises for the lower back/core? or maybe even stretch? Believe it or not this can help out a lot, and specially strengthening that lower back.

@@xSwaii I agree about core work but as somebody with bone on bone L5/S1 L4 herniated 6 other bulgers and herniated disc ( last one in neck , forget what its called , something one I guess) , believe it or not MANY types of stretching can make pain way worse . Strengthing the core MEANING BOTH STOMACH ( ABS) and lower back and the whole core. But I was stretching and getting worse and worse until a women who worked with one of the most famous back guys in the U.S. saw me struggling to walk up 4 stairs to walk into a public place and asked if she could ask some questions and eventually told me to try and STOP STRETCHING for a week or 2 and see . Within a few days I DID feel better and not much longer much better. I will also tell you what a great excercise is for a bad back and this is ALSO counter intuitive until you understand . HIKING on steeps , or something with some decent grade. Also hiking on UNEVEN GROUND with ups and downs . It causes you to use your core over and over to balance and the uneven ground makes you constantly move like a gyroscope so that you hit every muscle in a NATURAL WAY . We are basically designed to walk and hike and not on COMPLETELY flat surfaces. Start off easy and build up. If you dont live in the mountains like I do then it might be not doable but walking in any kind of woods that are not to flat is helpful but the more grade the better . Even if your really messed up big grades are not an issue . If your on a big grade just go as slow as you need to go as far as possible. When going down you may need to go slow and step sideways because going jdown can be rough on knees but the down part works your core differently and if you dont try to be a SHERPA on your first try even your knees will feel better after a while as you build up strength . Wrapping your knees or using braces for knees can also be employed if you have some knee pain or instability but do whatever you can natural to allow your body to build its OWN support. HERE IS THE ULTIMATE , if you go hiking and there is SUPER COLD STREAM WATER wear a bathing suit under your gear and bring a towel and at the end find a pool of the coldest water you woud NEVER WANT TO BE IN and go in it as deep as you can and hopefull sy sit down in the stream so the water covers your legs and lower back and approaches chest if possuble. You may only last 30 seconds and be yelling WTF the first time but when you get out towel off and get clothes back on you will feel so much less pain and it will last for a while , days to a week and then keep going until you can handle a few minutes and try for around 5 . It feels messed up at first but GOOD SCIENCE on why this works and health benefits way beyound joint and back pain . Its basically Polar Bear stuff and can increase longevity and certainly help crush inflammation so IT WILL BE HEALTHY if your already of decent health . Dont go in freezing water if your ticker is bad or whatever and make sure if you do it in winter your near your vehicle or whatever and have a towel and can get into warm gear and all that . MIND BLOWING DIFFERENCE IN PAIN plus good mental benefits and you feel great as you start to train yourself to handle the pain of extreme cold water . 5 minutes of cold shock uncomfortable ( you start to like if your the sort that enjoys excercise and pushing yourself ) to get days or weeks of less pain and better mental is SO WORTH ANY LEVEL OF DISCOMFORT and if you live where you can do it for FREE thats the best part. You can also get a plastic barrel of some type and put water in it during winter to let it get cold and or add ice and step into that and kneel down and stay as long as possible. And I do have stenosis in my neck as well. At my worst I can not stand or sit or do anything and my legs cramp up and my missing disc KILLS , that is when for whatever reason I am unable to excercise ( and slowly build up) and do the rituals I have set forth , but even as MESSED UP as I am amd the severe pain and dissability it causes , doing as the other poster said CORE excercises of which HIKING IS A CORE WORK OUT and easy because everybody knows how to walk and you dont have to remember how many sets of what and all that to be balanced . Doing TOO much AB strengthening without the same for lower back and sides and all the different stuff can CAUSE pain if you over develope or over work one and not the other . You want your ENTIRE CORE EQUALLY TRAINED to keep the mess of a spine we have kept steady without being pulled in one way or the other and not balanced between strong muscles all around. I know this is a book but BACK PAIN is awful if its legit shit from spine degradation and it is MENATLLY tiring , depressing and pain sucks when its at a level you can barely do anything including think so I dont want anybody besides Dictator's , Rapists or Kid Touchers , Politicians and ya know , the really bad sorts to experience it. Give it all a try if possible. DONT TAKE NSAIDS they will cause more pain and degradation of your spine and joints. Look that up for yourself. BEST WISHES for you getting some relief , ANY AMOUNT IS AMAZING when you have serious life changing pain and I know these things to work with much personal experience in the realm of pain . I had hard miles already and then got SMASHED in the rear sitting still minding my buisness by a 7000Lb truck which CHANGED MY LIFE ABOUT 10 YEARS ago so I have tried everything including giant needles in spine and refused pain meds and the morphine pump they wanted to install UNER MY SKIN to inject small amounts of dope directly into spinal cord . FEEL BETTER , its possible and any relief is great and you may find MAJOR relief for a good long while .

Me too
