Every morning when I wake up my back and hips are extremely tight and it takes me about 2 hours to loosen them up. However if I spend those two hours laying down waiting for my body to loosen on its own, I get up 2 hours later with the same problems.
I agree with you that sitting also causes the hips and back to get stiff and tight.
- marcyb5st 6y agoYou should try a stiffer mattress / topper. I had the same problem because I was sinking, ending up with a weird hip angle. I discovered this once I went wild camping with some friends. Sleeping on a thin air mattress made me realize that.
- chordalkeyboard 6y agoThanks and I will.
- crazygringo 6y agoThat's definitely not normal. Have you seen a doctor or physical therapist about that? There are lots of possible causes, with possible fixes including a different mattress, changing your sleeping position/posture, specific stretches, and massaging specific muscles.
- chordalkeyboard 6y agoyeah but I got the runaround. You're right and I should see someone else. Thanks for the encouragement.

- chordalkeyboard 6y agoThank you for the pointer and I will.
