Back pain

Nearly every night now and it only happens at night during my sleep, I wake up with really bad back pain on the left hand side of my back up in the shoulder area.... It feels like bad cramp but at its worse it can feel like all the bones in my back are trying to expand and feel like they're trying to crack..

Hello, hope you're good definitely get it checked out soon, don't wanna scare you but that's something that sounds like a bit like I've gone through with my back. So that's why it's important for you to have someone have a look at it, but at the same time it could be nothing at all, sooner is better than later when it comes to back pain, take care 🙂

If its happening at night in bed it could be the way you are sleeping, perhaps the position of your head. or your arms. If you are sleeping with your arms crushed up in front of you that can cause upper back and shoulder pain.

Yes get a doctor to take a look but in the meantime try putting a pillow between your semi outstretched arms when you lie on your side. The pillow will support the arm on the top and stop it getting into a squashed position. Worth trying while you wait to see a doctor
