Perhaps you've already thought of this, but just in case...

What about using fewer pillows? You may be placing strain on your lower back by half-sitting as you sleep. Now that you're being treated for apnea, you may not need so many pillows.

I myself have neck and back trouble and I find that I'm constantly fiddling (every month to six weeks) with the pillow arrangement. There doesn't seem to be an ideal that will work forever. Not sure why.

Good luck. Go easy on the drugs...they just mask the problem.
