Pain on waking up

I often wake with considerable pain in my back. Sometimes my head is thrust back at an odd angle. Does anybody know how to make this better? It’s not a pleasant way to wake up.

    It might be worthwhile changing your pillows and mattress to see if that improves things.

    I'm going through a phase of waking with a leg bent and a pain behind the knee joint making it difficult & painful to straighten the leg, so I do empathise.

    Have you spoken to your dr @Nuala1284? Changing the pillows and mattress is a great idea. I find myself switching between 3 different styles of pillow depending on how my body feels each night!
