What Causes Persistent Lumbar Pain While Sleeping On Back?

Lower back pain in center of back. Some times painful but since I stated taking Glucosamine/Chrondrotin it is not nearly as bad. I have trouble standing up right, especially f carrying any weight in my hands. At night I do not have pain but feel uncomfortable when sleeping on my back

thank you for the question. As you have not mentioned your age or your sex both of which might be relevant, i have to say that there could be a few possibilities:
1) lumbar spondylosis: disc protrusion from the lumbar spine maybe l4-l5. You should have an mri and definately show an orthopaedic surgeion
2) Arthritis( osteo/rheumatoid):Analgesics like ibuprofen 800mg twice a day are the standard treatment for both. However you should definately have it checked out by your doctor. a simple xray and blood tests for RA factor and anti-cccp should suffice
3) Spinal TB: A rare complication especially if you live in a developed country. An mri will give the picture
