who suffers from lower back pain?

Ive had lower back pain for 25 years.
Got better once I realized my mattress was too firm. I was always told that a firm mattress is good for your back but actually you need a medium firm with memory foam. After I got a super nice mattress with an adjustable frame, it got alot better.
It took me 1 year to adjust to the new mattress.. not kidding.

I had lower back pain for a few years, mostly sciatica nerve pain. Slept on a futon for 9 years and maybe the last 4 years it felt like I was sleeping on uneven springs with no cushion. I just didn’t care about my comfort at all but when I had the sciatica, I started taking naproxen for it, which is like advil and then instead of one a day, it became around 4 a day. So I thought to myself, ”there has got to be a better way instead of taking these tablets.” I discovered a diet that lowers inflammation called the ketogenic diet and that, along with intermittent fasting, I’d not only lose weight, my skin got healthier and younger looking, my hair got fuller on the top of my head, some friends think I got taller, and the sciatic nerve pain went away for good.

it was like God’s way of blessing me, as I was one of the only people working in public during the pandemic.

Three years after that, God blessed with me with a bigger more comfortable bed and my own room, that I no longer had to share with my brother.

Me too as I was considered essential. At the time I was living in Clearwater, Florida which is part of the Tampa / St. Pete metropolitan area with a population. Finally loved driving to work and back, especially driving home which took, depending on traffic anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. During the pandemic the main roads were practically empty. Could drive home in 15 minutes or less.

it was like that probably for the first year and a half over here. I was really starting to get used to it. I got a little overwhelmed when things started going back to normal or when inflation started happening. Then figured out other ways to survive.

If there wasn’t such weather extremes in the Midwest or even in Texas, I would consider living there but because the weather here is the way it is, I think I could manage being homeless if that were to ever happen. I don’t pray for it to happen but my mother just turned 60 and she doesn’t really take care of her body. So I don’t know how long she has. The house would go into my name most likely but I would have to divide things into three portions, for my brother and sister. So, what was my great grandmothers home originally, might up being sold and I would have to figure out new living arrangements.

A bed makes all the difference because when muscles are at rest for hours at a time gravity and body weight pressure on the mattress surface are a factor as to whether the body recovers from the days activities. Or, remains under stress because the mattress makes the body uncomfortable because it is too soft or firm.

Magnesium Malate, Magnesium buffered with malic acid (Source: apples), combined with capsule firm of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate,with MSM,a natural anti-inflammatory, helped my low back pain.

If someone is allergic to shellfish avoid the Chondroitin Sulfate. Take just the Glucosamine and MSM.
