You likely have some osteoarthritis in your back, along with disc degeneration. This is quite common. When a disc shrinks the outer ring called the annulus kind of collapses and this is what a disc bulge is. I think a good goal for you is to get your pain levels down to a point where it does not interfere with you life, realistically don't expect to get rid of all of it. First I would seek out a good chiropractor or physical therapist for some stretches or exercises to strengthen and mobilize your back, you want to keep your back moving. I would make sure the mattress  you sleep on has good support, and is not broken down, if it is old replace it.

When I get them I usually take pain pills given to me by my doctor, but sleep is a good help and just lying down not doing anything in the dark with no noise helps me a lot too. You might try to ask your doctor about preventatives for them.

I think you might want to take a pill like Tylenol PM to calm down your body and to relieve any pain. If that works, then try it again until your body gets back in a natural sleep pattern. Another thing is if you have pent up anxiety, if you take other pills, or you have changed your diet, you might not be sleeping. I had trouble sleeping when I was constantly worried and upset about things I couldn't control.

U may just be a slower moving laid back person. I do know depression and anxiety use alot of energy cause your mind is really doing extra work.I take a b12 shot each month and the B complex vitamin with a meal. this helps some and a good 20 min walk each day will energise you.but dont do alot of excercise at bedtime. that will keep u awake. you might also get your blood checked for anemia

I literally feel your pain. I have had lower back issues for many years, reaching all the way back to my early teens. One thing I have against me is that I have an extra vertebrae in the lumber region of my spine. This can cause me to 'favor' certain movements to not irritate it, which in turn irritates the muscles. The biggest thing for me was not moving to much. It is almost like it starts to relax but when I move it pulls again. And muscle relaxers work good, but each person is different. With me it usually loosens up in about 3 to 4 days, others might be quicker or longer. Another thing you'll notice is that the pain is the worst after resting for a while. Especially after a nights sleep. It will, or should, loosen up as you slowly move and stretch.

Sounds like the baby had some effect on you.  I'm not saying 35 is old, it was my favorite age, but having a baby takes an awful lot out of you (I'll bet you noticed that without me saying it).  Then you're not sleeping right and definitely not excercising like you should, and the extra weight.  All that can add up to some unusual problems for you.  If it's severe you ought to see a doctor who will take a good look at it and maybe try to rule out arthritis.  Not a doctor that likes to prescribe pain pills for everything, that'll cause more problems.

Ouch. Poor baby, that must have hurt. I would say you should try to sleep as best you can and see how you are in the morning. If it still hurts you might should go get it looked at, either by a chiropractor or an MD.

Pain is never a good thing. Go to the doctor but your inactivity may be to blame. We weren't meant to be sedentary creatures and an inactive lifestyle means our muscles become to weak to carry our own frame around. If your abdominal an back muscles are weak it can throw your spine out of alignment which can cause pain all over. Yep even the angle of your shoulder or your wrist.\n\nSee the doctor to rule out anything more serious and then start with a light walk and gentle yoga and work your way up to a more active lifestyle. You are too young to let your body get so old.

I am the same way.  My wife wonders why I am so tired all of the time, but the truth is that a little nap during the day is really good for you.  Peoples bodies are so different.  My wife can just keep going for all hours.  I am very active as well, I lift weights, run, and work all day, but I usually find that a good nights rest sneaking in a little nap helps a lot.  I know that athletes are recommended to get about 10 hours of sleep.  So, it depends on so many different things, but your body will tell you what it needs and you should respond.

I am also on Lexapro and I am extremely tired too.  I thought it was just me.  I have been on it for over a year.  I think we both need to speak to our doctors.

It can be any time now. It can in rarer cases start as late as 17. I would get concerned at age 16 and seek a medical opinion. As for now take multivitamins with minerals, a good diet with lots of meat fish vegetables, and fruit. And get exercise. One of the first signs of puberty is sleeping in late, and sometimes a feeling of permanent jet lag. That clock cycle shift has recently been adopted by many medical practitioners as a sign of puberty and that puberty ends when the laterwaking  shift stops. (it never stopped for me, I've been a night owl for decades.)\nIn the meantime relax, don't get concerned. There is plenty of time. Enjoy life. It only comes around once.\nGood luck,\nDoc. Dan.

My husband slowed down at age 50...\nBut it was more from his long work hours than anything else...\nHe was just too tired most of the time...

A lot of people actually have this. The best advice I can give though is to exercise. Keep your back and stomach muscles strong. Maybe try yoga. Don't freak out too much. It's pretty common to have to a small degree.

I vary positions from one night to the next, so as not to put too much stress on a single muscle which takes up the slack for the whole body as it rests. Sleeping in the same position can, over time, cause muscles in your back to go into shock from overuse, and in effect be extremely sore for no apparent reason.  Which muscle is affected depends on which position you sleep.  No snoring (or so I'm told) and no sleepwalking.
