Suffering from nightly back pain? SAME.
It’s nothing to brag about, but I’m going on seven years now (minus a short, glorious stint of relief…before it returned with a vengeance).
In my quest for a cure, I’ve tried a million things. So in this episode, I’ll share what’s helped, what hasn’t, and what gave me a few months of relief.
Covered in this episode:
[00:00] Living with Chronic Nightly Back Pain
[03:58] Learning to Advocate for Answers
[08:50] Therapies I’ve Tried
[16:13] Movement and Fitness for Pain Relief

[25:10] My Coping Strategies for Nightly Back Pain
If you’re up at 3 a.m. scouring Google, deep-diving Reddit threads, praying for a miracle, or seriously considering making a deal with the devil—this one’s for you.
And if I ever get my hands on a Delorean, it’s for younger me too.
