I can not sleep on my mattress any longer. I wake up with terrible lower back aches (spondolystheisis). Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you very much.
 
Try puttling pillows under your legs when you sleep. THis should take the pressure off of your lower back and spine and should help with your sleep.
 
I second the pillow suggestion. You might also try sleeping somewhat propped up (like on a wedge pillow) or sleep in a chair like a La-Z-Boy recliner.

I have a bad back and sleep on a "Sleep Nuraber" airbed. I got it used. It does the trick for me, because sometimes I need firm and sometimes I need soft.

The best bed I ever had was my waterbed. People always said that waterbeRAB are horrible for your back but I never had problems when I had one. They are hard to find anymore though.
 
Thank you very much for your reply. I am using the pillow garabit but I think its the mattress below me that's the culprit.
 
Thank's for your kind reply. This is a very cool board. I am trying the pillows but have found out that my RLS has been kicking in. Are central nervous system depressents an answer? I just kicked a potential percocet problem. I couldn't tell whether it's pain or my getting habtiuated and feeling withdrawl symptons. Any idea?

Also, why do they say in related articles that the drug should be avioded if you had a history of addiction? I understand the answer basically, but wonder after 40 years
the compulsion syndrome might have abated.

I am very conscientious about taking pain killers but wonder if past history makes me more vunerable?

We may be investing in a sleep nuraber bed later this summer or early this fall. It's a big investment but my hubby seems to agree that (1) no matter what our mattress has lived out it's life and (2) the sleep nuraber may work well for both of us. I'm just starting the research on this.
