I'm having an especially bad time of it now for the past week or so. Usually I can fall back to sleep but the pain is just gnawing at my back. I took a Zantac about 4 hours ago and some Tylenol but it came back on me. I just couldn't lay there so I got up. Usually it just magically goes away and I am free of pain for about 2 weeks. Sitting up does help. It's usually worse early in the morning, sometimes not.

I have developed a backache over the past few days when I first get up. It goes away after I'm up for a while.

I guess I'll just sit here until I feel better.
