Good mattress!!
Helped me overcome herniated disc pain. I can't believe the difference it made.
On my old mattress, I couldn't tie my own shoes some days. But within a week I was pretty much back to normal.
If my back flares up, I find di@zep@m and s@m@ together in a low to medium dose help greatly.
With mattresses, you get what you pay for!

I agree with the mattress comment! My worst pain is in the morning after sleeping, or at the end of the day after work. We looked at memory foam mattresses, and ended up buying a Leesa brand mattress. Major improvement over our traditional mattress.

Yes, a good firm mattress helps. Our old memory foam........ remembers too much! Even when I sleep on a firm cot, while camping, I don't seem to have any pain when I wake up. Time to go shopping.

I have some lower back pain. But I have a facet joint in my thoracic that is arthritic. Tram is a lifesaver. I had a cortisone injection that was an extremely painful procedure. I literally watched the needle go into my spine on the screen in front of me. It seemed to help for a bit but it only helps for maybe 6 to 8 months. Lost my insurance so now I'm on my own.

The pain was so overwhelming. I began to sweat very heavily and was thriving in pain. They thought I was crying haha. They asked if I needed tissue. I told them no I just need to know when we're going to be done. The doctor must've poked me 3 or 4 times too. I had to ask how much more. They couldn't give me anything for the pain during the procedure due to some other health issues. So yeah it was fun. Haha.

ohhhh...and one other thing...check out the random orbital car polisher! It works great to break up the tension and stiffness - I heard about this from a friend and looked it up on youtube...its a pretty established tool...I got a small hand ryobi polisher with the fuzzy polishing bonnet on it...and man it feels good when things are really tight

Leesa memory foam mattress was an improvement for me, over our old standard Serta. Others though have stated that memory foam was too soft for them, which I can definitely understand.
