My name is srishti agarwal! I have pain in my lower back since 3 years. I got my x ray done and it seems quite normal. Consulted a physiotherapist she said my back muscles are weak and I have to exercise regularly to keep the pain suppressed. I got ultrasound and tens done there. Once I take the treatment 8-10 days my pain disappears for 6-8 months. This time it started back in 4-5 months only. I thought of changing my mattress so I wanted to know what kind of mattress is best for lower back pains! Please revert asap.

Hi lybrate-user. You seem to have a mechanical low backache. Exercises will help you a lot. Do core strengthening exercises for the same. As Das as the mattress is concerned, get a firm mattress. But it should not be too hard. Try out a firm mattress with memory foam top. It's usually quite effective in patients with backache. Avoid pure foam or too hard mattresses.
