For the last month or so I've had bad mid-back pain develop during the night, every night, waking up with my back anywhere from "hurts a lot" to "agony". I've tried different beds, different positions, pillow thickness, adjustable bed, and nothing seems to help except sleeping in a chair. I get better within an hour of two of getting out of bed, usually. I hope I can find a solution short of surgery. I'll try a good chiropractor (after checking references) looking for advice if not treatment. (A good one will say if s/he can't treat it.)
I'm also working on my ergonomics at work, and I need new orthopedic insoles (those semi-custom Dr. Scholl's ones) but I don't expect those things to help with the nighttime problem, since I feel OK when I lie down.
