OT – Best mattress

[nostradamus]

Like h82rent I too must remain active and I hate being stationary. I was going to post it before but I hesitated: the reason I think I’m fine sleeping on any surface is because I run myself into the ground every day so when I hit the sack I’m out like a light. Sometimes directly on the wood floor or grass or sand or whatever. I do 8 hours of engineering work, 6 hours of film editing, and 2 hours of swimming or weights on weekdays, about 4 hours of surfing or volleyball every Sat/Sun at South Mission. If I don’t do something I get depressed and crazy.

While I don’t believe in loving yourself a la Narcissus, it is true that muscular stress may be caused by emotional stress or worry. Try smoking some weed! People believe it has both physical and emotional benefits. I’m sure you can get a prescription based on what you’ve gone through so far.

JP… I’m not sure how you have your tempurpedic set up, but if you have it on a box spring type platform, you may want to throw it on the floor and try sleeping on it that way before making any rash decisions to toss it. My brother has a TP on a box spring and his is MUCH softer than mine. Too soft in my opinion. I have a classic on a custom bed frame where the mattress sits directly on a 1.25″ thick MDF deck, essentially a rigid platform. Setup this way it is actually quite firm… more so than other mattresses I can remember sleeping on. She_Said also has back issues, and swears by our tp setup on MDF.

Thanks for the post. I have it on a platform. 3 inch thick wood board – no box mattress. There’s no sag.

Try smoking some weed! Nostradamus, you’re funny..ya never know, it just might work!

jp – When you were a kid, did you ever have an accident, like a bad fall on your bike or something? Sometimes unexplainable back pain can actually be attributed to an early injury that seemed fairly trivial at the time. The area that you have pain isn’t the most common for most adult suffers – which seems so perplexing. I agree that it is so frustrating that doctors are willing to medicate any ache and pain without even considering alternative therapies. They rather give you potentially addictive narcotics that just confuses you body’s ability to recognize and cope with pain than actually looking for strategies for healing. Being so active, I can only imagine how frustrating your pain is for you. Enorah is on the right track that sometimes physical pain is a manifestation of other emotional pain or stressors, but if that doesn’t seem to resonate with you as a possibility, perhaps continuing with alternative medicine such as accupunture might begin to work for you.

Good luck on your journey to find relief.
