Back pain with CPAP


Posted by msp599 on April 03, 2006 at 09:01:31:

I am in my second week with CPAP, and have been having a problem with lower back pain. My doctor says he's never heard of that as a side effect.

After about 5 hours, my back pain gets to the point where I have to get up and move around. I've tried pillows, and pillows to each side, but that doesn't help. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Help please
Thanks in advance
