What Causes Severe Back Pain During Day Time?
Hi, I am 36 years old and have had back problems for the past 13-15 years, but not your usual pain during the day when Im active, but when I go to sleep, about 3 hours into sleep, I feel like my muscles along side my spine tense up. Sometimes to a point that my kids literally have to step on my back, just so I can get out of bed, stretch and get on with my day. As long as I am moving around and active, I am fine. Lately I have notice that if I have a pop (pepsi), the pain is excruciating. I usually only have a couple cans of pop a week. (used to be a popaholic) Does pepsi have anything that would cause this pain in my muscles?

Hello,
I understand your concern for your muscle pain.
Soft drinks contain some amount of phosphates which has normally no effect on an individual, but if your body is not excreting it properly, it can interfere with body calcium levels.So drink lots if water, use some analgesic and muscle relaxant.
