What Causes Pain In The Lower Back While Lying Down ?

I have lower pain on my right side in my back after laying down for a period of time.. Yesterday I had a massage and when I laid on my back for 45 mins I couldn t get up and the pain was so bad it had me throwing up. I notice this when I wake up or try to turn in my sleep that my back locks and I can t move sometimes the pain is so intense I can t lift my leg to step over anything, although after going pee a few times the pain seems to disappear, until the next night.

Hello,

I had gone through the case and found that there are many causes of lower back pain. You did not mention the age and duration of pain either acute or chronic.

Causes of pain-

Herniated disc

sciatica

strain

spinal stenosis

arthritis

So go for X-ray of whole spine and get the diagnosis and consult with orthopedic if any serious diagnosis found.

If there is strain or sciatica then take rest and do leg exercise under supervision.

Hope my answer will be effective for you.

Thanks
