If this is the only time you experience pain, i.e. when you wake up in the morning, you probably just need a new mattress. Sounds simple I know, but you certainly wouldn't be the first person to suffer back pain from an old mattress or one that is too hard or soft for you. You can test this theory out by sleeping in another bed in your home, on the couch, or even on the floor. If the pain is any better at all when sleeping elsewhere, I'd say it would be worth the expense to try to get a new mattress before going on any medications long term.

Pain relievers don't address the cause of the pain.

People with depression often suffer with back pain as do people who experience stress and muscular tension.

It is possible that how you sleep is affecting pressure in your back and you may need to consider. A doctor might want to do Xrays, an MRI or physiotherapy to help improve your soft tissue issues and any structural problems.

There are a variety of illness that may be giving you warning signals such as osteoarthritis. Getting a professional assessment today may help you over the years to come.

Acupressure will work to relief lower back pain, first stand and place your hands on your wrist,with thumbs in back and fingers to the front,next find the cordlike bands of musles about two inches off from the center of the spine. Press the outer edge of edges of these muscles with the tumbs,directing the pressure toward the spine,this should help your body release endorphins for painkilling relief.

First the cause of your pain and symptoms need to be determined. Then only can you develop a treatment plan to address the findings and work on moving towards curing it. I would consult with a physical therapist (PT) in your area. Depending on the state you live in you may or may not need a referral from a physician. You can use the "Find a PT" feature on the APTA (American Physical Therapy Association) website - http://www.apta.org - to help you locate a PT in your area. You want to find one that specializes in the spine/orthopedics.

My opinion would be that this is probably due to some poor posture and muscle weakness but should probably have that confirmed by someone. Find some good stretches and try and be aware of your posture during the day.

You might want to consider a massage therapy or acupuncture for your ache. In your case, I would recommend acupuncture first. See if there is any Chinese medicine practitioner in your neighbourhood.
