((((((wisewoman)))) I am truly sorry that you are suffering. I also wake up with pain during the night. I went and got a memory foam mattress hoping it would help.. Does somewhat, but I don't have just back pain.
My husband loves it though... I just always seem to find myself sitting up all the time regardless of where I am sleeping..
I can lay down but will end up sitting up sleeping so bent over the I end up with a stomach issue or hubby gets scared I am going to fall over to floor and be in such a position that it would be hard to get up. Or worse I guess. So I stopped sleeping with again because of always disturbing his sleep.... Boy I miss my man so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
