I was born with an extra half of a vertebrae, and because of it I now have scoliosis. It's not really an issue at all, except for certain sleeping arrangements. I just came back to school a few weeks ago, and I haven't woke up once without back pain. The bed is so damn soft and I can't switch it out because it's the dorms bed. So I just have to live with it. I've tried sleeping with something between my legs or sleeping with my legs propped up, and nothing. Anyone have any ideas, or any things that will help my back? I lay on the floor a lot when I'm not doing anything and that seems to help, but I like to lift weights a lot and play soccer and it's hard too when sometimes I can't even bend over to itch my leg.
One thing that I've noticed with back pain is lack of core strength. For me personally, I've had periods of time where I didn't keep my core(abs/obliques) in decent shape and my back didn't hold up as well. Stretching is always a good thing too. I don't know where you go to school, but maybe go talk to one of the trainers in the gym? Also, are you confident that you're lifting weights correctly?
I've actually done this twice and been very successful. Once I had to put a full 2" of plywood beneath the mattress, though 1" should suffice.
Fuck I'm stupid, I did the plywood thing last year and it was great. Just forgot. And yea I know I'm lifting correclty, it doesn't bother me when I workout at home. But I can't really strengthen my core rightn ow because my back is killing me so i can't do any exercises. Anyway yeah thanks rizz for reminding me I'll go get some plywood. Frik I'm dumb
...honestly, smoke marijuana "medicine" through a vaporizer [http://www.vaporoutlet.com/] and your back will feel as good as it ever has!!!
