Dr. Lin Yunfei
Back pain after sleeping is generally caused by aseptic inflammation in the back muscles or degenerative changes in the spine. Conditions such as back muscle fasciitis and thoracolumbar degenerative changes are often due to excessive fatigue or incorrect posture. Back pain can also result from exposure to cold during sleep, a mattress that is too soft, or improper sleeping positions. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
