Massage, stretching, spinal cord stimulator, surgery, losing weight, meditation, CBD, topical pain meds, there’s lots of alternatives. I’m not going to be Suzy Sunshine and say they all work, but it’s a matter of trying different combinations of things to see what helps.

I have constant low back also. I take meds (ultram & robaxin) but the best thing I can do is alternative chiropractic treatments. TENS/EMS, heat, ultrasound, laser and massage. My biggest pain complaint is constant muscle spasms and stenosis pain. The treatments help a lot, the meds are pretty mild, if I didn't get the treatments I don't know where I'd be. Today it's 2 years when all this started. I go to the chiropractor 2x a week.

I have a memory foam mattress with an adjustable base. I very rarely sleep fully flat. You might be able to just add the adjustable base to your current mattress. I find that elevating my head takes pressure off my back & I can change it as needed.

I am so sorry I also live with chronic low back pain and sleep is hard for me also I have this pillow I got that goes under my legs and it props them up and relieves the tension in my lower back! I do wake up with pain but stretch every morning and I hope this helps! I have been to a chiropractor and that has helped some but check with your primary before you do that! Hope you have a wonderful day.
