back pain ugh!

I really dislike sleeping on my back. I wake up so tense and with muscle aches. Did anyone find a way to sleep more comfortable. Im a tummy sleeper mostly and also like to sleep on my right side but it feels like all my organs shift when i do that lol so I keep it safe.

I'm also a tummy sleeper, and had back pain after the surgery. Just couldn't get comfortable at night. I didn't have pain from the incisions (not for long anyway) but I would wake up after a few hours because my back was sore & I just couldn't find a comfortable position. Finally ended up buying a new mattress! Got the sleep number bed and its awesome! But that's kind of an extreme response; if you don't want to buy a new bed you could try getting one of those mattress toppers. I also noticed that as I started working out the combination of weight loss and strengthening my back muscles helped with the pain.

Yeah a new bed right now would be lovely haha.but til then I guess ill have to stick it out til I heal a little better. I noticed that my shoulder and back muscles are really tight and tense I might invest in a quick massage session to loosen things up for now! Thank you for your response :-)
