Back pain while sleeping

So I used the search feature and couldn't find anything similar. I have been having a lot of back pain at the bottom of my ribs on my back for the past few days. Makes finding a good sleeping position hard. I know I have a posterior plcenta, so my kidneys are free game, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

Re: Back pain while sleeping

  • Have you tried sleeping with a pillow between your knees? This helped my lower back pain that I was getting

  • I had the same problem, and I ended up passing a kidney stone. Make sure you tell your doctor so they can watch your kidneys and urinary tract.

  • Pillows for support and also seeing a chiropractor will help
  • I find laying flat on my back is the only thing that helps my back pain. I move around in my sleep as needed, but my primary position is on my back. I decided awhile ago that getting enough sleep and trusting my body will move when it needs to trumps the advice to side sleep.
  • I started sleeping with a pillow between my knees and ankles as well as one behind my back and one in between my arms (like hugging a stuffed animal) i tend to roll onto my back at some point during the night and the pillow behind my back keeps me from laying completely flat on my back. It helps some of my lower rib and back pain. I also see a chiropractor and he adjusts my back and hips which helps :)
