    Have you ever gotten up in the morning and experienced unexpected lower back pain? You’re not alone. Back pain is common. It’s also often felt first thing in the morning, particularly upon moving from lying down to standing.

    This pain is usually the result of stiffness from long periods of rest or decreased blood flow from sleeping. After moving around, symptoms usually subside.
