Nighttime Back Pain Getting Worse!
I am 22 year old female and been having back pain for a bout 2 years now. I haven't had any accident at all.
But I have had 2 c sections one in 2010 and one in 2012. The pain started about two years ago.
The last 3 months my lower back pain has been getting worse by night. I have the pain as soon as it's time for bed. I am virtually pain free by day. I feel the pain on my upper right back and it's worse on my lower back ( right side)
I don't know how much of this I can take anymore. I have gone to an orthopedic clinic but that was some time ago and the doctor said it could be osteoporosis. I never followed up after that appointment. ( I was very busy and always put myself last)
The pain is now where I can't sleep. I will try sleeping around 9 pm and won't actually fall asleep until 2 or 3 in the morning. And then I won't get much sleep anyway because the pain will wake me up.
I made an appointment to go back to the same doctor on Tuesday.
Just recently I've been getting some tingly sensation on my right leg and hand ( I felt most of it in my middle finger)
The only scan I've had is an X Ray which was when the Doctor said it may be Osteoporosis. I definitely want to have an MRI done.
I want some advice on how to fix this problem or what can be causing me to have this much pain. I want to be able to sleep again.

You most likely have ruptured discs in your lumbar spine. I don't know what to tell you. I am 61 and have had 4 ruptured discs but it didn't start until I was 39. I have had three surgeries and am mostly pain free now.
If you don't follow-up with your doctors I'm not sure how you will feel better.

It could be pain from needing to replace your mattress, or it could be from the anesthesia from your c-sections. I used to get some pretty bad back pains after my c-sections...I guess my body healed itself over time, because I haven't had that same pain in a long time.
have you tried a new mattress? I have psoriatic arthritic in my back and legs and buying a new mattress made a huge difference.
