Introduction
Internal organ pain and lower back pain upon waking in the morning may be due to physiological factors, or could result from pathological conditions such as fasciitis or ankylosing spondylitis. These symptoms can be improved through general treatments, medication, physical therapy, and other approaches. Besides the above-mentioned causes, urinary system stones or lumbar disc herniation might also be responsible. If a patient experiences persistent pain over a long period, they should promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination.

Internal organ pain and lower back pain upon waking in the morning may be caused by physiological factors, or could result from pathological conditions such as fasciitis or ankylosing spondylitis. Symptoms can be improved through general treatments, medications, physical therapy, and other approaches. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Physiological Factors

If a patient maintains the same sleeping posture for a prolonged period or sleeps on a particularly hard mattress, it may lead to stiffness in the lower back muscles, accompanied by pain. After getting up, patients can perform appropriate stretching exercises to help relieve muscle tension and alleviate pain.

2. Pathological Factors

a) Fasciitis

If the sleeping environment is excessively damp, the body may be exposed to cold stimulation, which can trigger muscle fascia tension, muscle spasms, and pain. When pain symptoms are severe, patients may take analgesic medications such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets or celecoxib capsules under medical guidance.

b) Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis, often caused by genetic factors or bacterial infections, commonly presents with symptoms such as lower back pain and morning stiffness. When necessary, patients may undergo physical therapies under medical advice, including infrared therapy, microwave therapy, and extracorporeal ultrasound therapy, to help relieve symptoms.

Besides the above-mentioned causes, persistent pain could also stem from urinary system stones, lumbar disc herniation, or other conditions. If a patient experiences long-term pain, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital for a thorough examination.
