Symptom #6: Less Pain When Lying Down
Another thing that many people suffering from this problem notice is that they experience less pain when they are lying down. This leads to many people becoming inclined to spend much of their time on the couch or in bed because it’s less painful.
One of the reasons for this is because a lot of the pain related to DDD comes from the compression of the spinal discs. When you are upright, there is a lot of weight placed on these discs. When you’re lying down, however, the weight is distributed throughout the whole body.
