hello. i have the back pain you are describing. it goes up into my neck as well. it's every day and it hurts so bad. i thought we needed a new mattress too! instead, i just bought five new pillows. no change. i've tried ibuprofen-even the big horse pill ones-and tylenol and it does nothing. i can't find anything that helps my daily headaches either. excedrin migraine used to work, but even that doesn't make a dent anymore. i wish i could tell you how to make the pain stop, but all i can really do is commiserate. you're not alone with this. take care and good luck to all.
