Also called nocturnal back pain, nighttime back pain is a special type of lower back pain that could indicate a serious problem with your spine. This condition leads to long sleepless nights and prompts many to see a doctor. In the U.S. alone, up to 80 percent of the population experiences some form of low back pain at some time in their lives.

This type of pain can be debilitating; individuals who experience it try to deal with the problem by changing their sleeping positions or buying a new mattress. In fact, this is what most doctors will review and advice at first. But this doesn’t always reduce the pain. What they don’t feel during the day will often persist at night.
A person with nighttime back issues will usually experience pain more intensely on one side of the body. They may feel pins and needles in both hands as well as in one or both legs. Additionally, someone with nighttime back pain may also experience random senselessness in the lower extremities.
There is no one cause of nighttime back pain, but common factors include deterioration of discs, scoliosis, kidney stones, appendicitis, arthritis, or even pregnancy. The important thing is to consult a doctor when the pain becomes intolerable, as, again, it may be a symptom of a more serious problem. The good news is, in most instances, people just need adequate rest and proper exercise to get improvements within a matter of weeks.
