i woke up this morning with pain in my lower back as i layed in bed,?

did you do anything strenuous yesterday that could cause your body to respond with this pain?

often times unused or overused muscle will contract (spasm) and take a few days to settle down

if not, you may have a problem then, doctors really don't do much but prescribe muscle relaxants that cause extreme diarrhea in many cases or they want to offer surgery so it is wise to proceed with caution

think about it, then decide what is best for you, you should also consider seeing a chiropractor or acupuncturist, their techniques may get you on the road to recovery even sooner than a doctor.

yep see the doctor as a stiff back gets better and so does the pain when you get mobile and if yours didnt means something else is wrong

The type of doctor you absolutely need to see is a chiropractor. You could have a problem with one of the discs in your lower back.

it could be a stiff back or maybe a pinched nerve. i suffer daily with lower back and body pain. I do stretching take aleve and use a heating pad which helps alot.

See your doctor if it happens more than once. If it only happens the one time, it could be a strange way you twisted during your sleep.

Sounds like youve possibly put your back out of place , or slept on it wrong. Definatly see your doctor, because your back isn't something you wanna mess up.
