I'm like that as well Dale re if it's not so bad to keep me down I'm up and going. Re staying in bed my back tires out that way as well and esp. if I'm lying on my love seat at night watching TV and fall asleep. I wake up with achey hips and back hurting. Really need firm surface. Two hours of sleep in bed on back w/legs elevated and cervical pillow (proper positioning for my body/back/probs) seems to help that all out and I wake up feeling fine usually.

It's weird.. use to have to stay in bed for back to feel better and now I have to stay out of it to feel better and I'm definately happy that the latter is what keeps my low back feeling good. Of course sitting long periods still flares me up tho I don't have the problem to the degree I used to re sitting.

Hope your "jabs" will go away and leave you not even remembering they happened and also hope you feel better ASAP!
