Re: Newbie - sore back
Roll up a towel and place it under your knees. This won't work if you roll over, but if you stay on your back it may help.
Also, you should do a form of physical exercise to limber up your back muscles. Also, also, how old is your mattress?

Re: Newbie - sore back
Hi,
I am a side sleeper and I found that getting a "CPAP" pillow helped me sleep better (i.e. less leaking and rude noises) on my side. You can purchase them (e.g.: See the forum site host https://www.cpap.com ) or even make your own.
Here is one posting: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=57420&p=540334&hili ... ow#p540334
Also see the "Great Pillow Exchange" thread: viewtopic/t36070/THE-GREAT-PILLOW-EXCHANGE.html
Cheers

there is, of course, the old-style method of sewing a tennis ball into a little pocket on the back of your jammies =)

Re: Newbie - sore back
As you are sleeping and waking up in the same position you need to turn the mattress more frequently and may be you need to buy a new one ,and congrats on your success and keep it up and good luck

Assuming that you wear jammies!

Re: Newbie - sore back
Hi, I'm on my first month too. same problem. the key for me so far is to get a mask and pillow that allows me to sleep on my side for part of the night. the advice about a pillow under your knees when on your back is good.
bedridden folks have to be turned several times each night...no one can sleep on their back for too long w/out pain. the human back is not a perfect piece of engineering (intelligent design? not bloody likely!)
I use a back2life machine ($200) almost every day....also have an inversion table ($200).
finally, i use a pillow between my knees when im on my side...it helps.
