The main reason for back pain upon waking up in the morning may be due to pre-existing soft tissue injuries in the back muscles, ligaments, or other structures. Sleeping on an overly soft bed or mattress can cause the spine to curve into an unnatural position while lying down. Over time, this leads to excessive tension and fatigue in the back muscles and ligaments, resulting in back pain. It is advisable to move slowly and gradually adapt; the pain will then ease over time.
