Hi @nomasAS
How are you?
I see its been a while since you last posted this discussion. I've done some research and it turns out the most common treatments are anti-inflammatory medications, biologics, dietary modifications, and even surgery in some cases. Exercise is one of the most consistently beneficial treatments for symptom relief. The four types of exercise recommended are: stretching, aerobic or cardiovascular, strengthening, and balance. You can read more about recommended exercise and get more information from the@Marns1978 @empengui @TerryReed @bitmap @Leahr215 @Cwaters @Badbones @js05763 @Cdionne1089 @Avro560 @spond568 @Kerryross @Kanna3 @w2007sara @JayLynn @Tinamaria @jrobinjrob @Andreeag @stain2319 @Gbeltz @zmgwedli @brownie17
What treatments have you tried? Has your doctor told you of any new therapy options? What helps you cope with your symptoms?
Let's share!

I am in the severe range now at 74 yrs old. I have found thru trial and error and getting older with SA, I sleep on my back because I can hardly turn to my side now. I also take 10 mg Melatonin. I didn't know it came in 20 mg! (Thanks ladyslipper 67) What has really help with my back pain, when in bed, is a large memory foam wedge. The large end is under my knees and my legs go down to the small end. It doesn't move when I sleep but then again I am not turning over back and forth. This takes the pressure off my back. I hope this helps someone.
