It turned out to be sleeping on an older mattress when we visited family on the weekends. Seems stupid that it took about 4 months to figure it out, but my back didn't really hurt until after the weekend was over. I hope they are able to identify the cause of your back pain so you can put together a plan to deal with it. Can you point to any incident where it began, or did it develop over time?
