Seems like elevated mattreses and hot sowers win the vote. I stretchbigtime before I effort getting out of bed. I do same stretch every time I get out of my car out of a chair or out of bed.
Its actually more upper body stretch than lower although my lower back is what ails me most now. Extend arms out side to side as far as posssible and feet downward and out as far as possible and then think like a cat stretching the way it curls it spine.
Next my mattress is so high I am standing once I swing my feet to floor. Then its penguinwalk to hot shower.
If none of that works then I use a lot of foul language. Its not very mature and it doesn't relieve the pain but I figure its my world and if I;m not going to go off to work feeling pain free then I may as well be as ornery as possible.
