Ok since I originally posted, I have figured out what the problem is, First I have a Phillips Respironics machine with the C-Flex+ .... well I kept adjusting the C-flex level until the pain went away. it was gone for over a month. so I decided to turn the C-flex off all together and see what happens...

... I'll have to check on the type it's a brand new Phillips... but not exactly sure on which model... I'll have to check on that c-flex thing. If it's Phillips Respironics like this , it's easy to disable C-Flex. C-Flex is meant to make exhaling easier, but it doesn't work the same on all people. ...

I did the full face mask awhile...had to pull the lower strap alittle tighter to get it to seal up right....within a few days I had burning pains between shoulder blades and sometimes running down arm. Went to a nasal and has improved. Sounds strange a small flexable strap a little lower on the nec...

Are you using a machine with C-Flex? I would assume back... because it's in my upper and mid back (places I have never ...

I used an app called sleepbot on my iphone and it showed that I hardly moved at all, all night. This will make your...

When I started cpap therapy, my body ached at first. It is because you are sleeping better and sleeping in one position a lot longer. At the time, I was concerned about my mattress. I bought a Temper-Pedic mattress. It's one of the greatest investments I've made. The claims that it is the best matt...

It's likely your chest and back muscles are being stretched by Cpap air in ways they never were before - it's common and should go away in time. And the eye thing can be solved with 'fake' tears you can get at the pharmacy or with a type of eye mask you can wear under your Cpap mask. How long is ty...

Oh and it's causing my vision to be blurrier than normal.

I have been using the Cpap for over a month now, every night, I'm a middle aged man, just turned 40. I use to sleep solid, I had to sleep on my side, but I would wake up refreshed and ready for the day. Now I wake up feeling like I aged 20 years, with a lot of upper back pain. Every night it gets a ...
