What Causes Intense Lower Back Pain After Sleep?
I recently have experienced acheing pain in both sides of my lower back after falling asleep and then waking up from the pain. When I get up and move around it subsides. I have not experienced the issue during the day. Is it possible that one of my key organs is causing this discomfort ?

Hello,
It could be a spine-related problem like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
