For the past month or so, whenever I sleep more than 4 hours, my upper back is killing me. Feels like someone is stabbing it with a knife. After I'm up for an hour or so, it doesn't hurt at all, and doesn't for the rest of the day.
Happens sleeping in my bed, my g/f's bed, my couch, and even my parent's couch the one night I slept on it.
It's gotten to the point I can't get as much sleep as I need some nights, so I figured it is time to get checked out. I made an appointment for this Monday.
Anything I should know before I go? Anything to watch out for? Cautions, concerns, etc.? My dad had some back problems, went to one, and did wonders for him, so I'm optimistic. I've also had neck pain for years, but have just kind of toughed through it, but I think I'll have that checked out as well. I'm not one to go to a doctor for some aches and pains, but I'd like to be able to get a full night's sleep and not wake up in pain!
