Ow, Eileen, back injuries are the pits. two finger hugs so as not to press on what hurts

Some years ago I tried to pick up a stone sculpture and really screwed up my sacroiliac. It hurt so much to lie down that I tried staying up for days and was risking falling down from fatigue.
I called my local Relax the Back store ( http://www.relaxtheback.com )and ordered a zero gravity chair. They brought it same day and showed me how to get in andout of it and I was really amazed at how much it helped with the pain. I slept in that chair for a month till I was better.
It was expensive but I don't know what I would have done without it. Since that time both my husband and I have used it again and again, and it has paid for itself many times over. I wonder if this might be an option for you?
BTW I didn't wait to look into this for myself, but I am hearing that doctors sometimes prescribe these chairs, in which case insurance will cover part or all of the cost. Good luck
