How can I get rid of my back pain in the morning, and is it a sign of a bigger problem? Recently I've been having nasty lower back pain every morning. This happened about a year ago, but only lasted a couple of weeks. I visited a doctor and he gave me a list of back exercizes to do... wich seemed to get rid of the pain. Of course shortly there after I stopped doing the exercizes. The same pain came back about a month ago... only this time it's much worse, to the point of waking me up about 4 hours after I go to bed. I've been doing back exercizes, but it seems to only be getting worse... Typically at night it's gone, but as soon as I lay down to sleep... it comes back (during the course of the night). I've tried orthodics for my shoes, and the pillow between the legs.. to no avail. The only other thing I could think of is getting a new matress to try to alleviate it. Any other suggestions?

What else can I do to get rid of chronic back pain? I'm more or less at my wits end. Every doctor I go to tells me that the xrays and MRI are showing nothing wrong with me and that I need to exercise. I'm 22 years old, I shouldn't be having chronic back pain that has no apparent cause. And at very least if it were a muscle strain I'd figure that 8 months would have been plenty of time for it to heal. I'm not in that bad of shape, I walk 2 or 3 miles a day. I have more or less written off medication as a simple mask of the problem. The problem to me isn't the pain, it's whatever is causing the pain. In a way I'd rather deal with the pain until the real problem is identified and gotten rid of so it can serve as a reminder. I'm not sure my exercising is helping any and for some reason my doctors seem to think I'm making it up or they just want to perscribe me more pain killers. Is there anything else I can do on my own to combat back pain?
