I am 42 yrs old I have suffered with back pain for years. My pain is worse on a night the second part of the night when i have been laid on it a few hours. If i lay on one side i feel pain and pressure on my spine then again if i turn on the other side the same feeling. To get comfortable i will go on my back but then wake up in a lot of pain from my neck i have to hold on to me head to move my neck slowly its that painful. Once i have moved it the bad pain goes. I spend the second half go the night in-between sleep because of the pain. During the day i suffer with my back but i can handle it. i am very stiff in the mornings but once i get moving although i can feel my back hurting i can cope. I have had an MRI and blood tests ...the only thing they say on the MRI is wear and tear and blood tests are all good. I just can't believe they can't find anything when i am in so much pain. I want to ask for a second a pinion or maybe other tests they can do but i am not sure what else can be done. Id anyone could offer some advice i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

Hu and welcome.
Sorry to hear about your pain I would consult a chiropractor the one I saw was a miracle worker. I had to pay but was worth every penny
Hope you get something sorted -
Welcome to the community @kiz
I'm also sorry to hear that you're in so much pain.
How is your pain being managed at the moment? Are you on any medication? Have you seen a physiotherapist?
