Yeah I have the same, back pain and neck pain. Brand new this year. Been thinking of making a trip to a chiropractor, because not sure what it is. Not sure if I just have terrible posture, or what.
But like I said, brand new this year, and not a thing has changed compared to normal. Maybe higher stress levels, not sure the extent of pain that can cause. And this is life - I can't change this shit. College + military training, these two things alone are crazy enough as it is, combine them... holy jesus stress overload on my body apparently, though I don't truly feel stressed out until finals. Mostly just background stress that I guess I've just gotten used to, and adjusted by being as lazy as possible whenever possible.
But... different bed this year. Could be it. But these are dorm/apartment beds, I don't get a choice to replace these things. Maybe I should try flipping it, I dunno.
Could it be the pillow?
I have a Sealy Memory Foam pillow.
Half of the problem, I don't get how to use these properly. :laugh:
I mean, it's the contour kind. Front has a low hump, it dips, and then the back is a taller hump. When lying on my back, which contour do I use to support my head? And howabout when lying on my side? Other problem, most times I roll over I'm at least half aware and I switch the pillow around, as currently I use short side when on my back, tall side when on my side. But I frequently change sleeping positions in the middle of the night some nights, and all my tossing and turning I have to keep flipping the pillow... occasionally I forget, especially when unconsciously rolling over in my sleep.
Could that be causing the neck pain? What about the back pain? Think they are unrelated? I've had this type of pillow for over a year now, and I didn't have this problem until this school year, so at least half a year after already using the pillow.
So confused, and I do think it's unrelated pain, though it might compound the pain levels and make it worse then it would be on its own.
