On waking and by tea time back discomfort so bad do others suffer the same

Hi rolo56 and thanks for posting your concern. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing such back pain in the morning and afternoon time. I'm hopeful others in the community will see your question and respond accordingly. In the meantime, I thought you might find it helpful to look over this article on COPD and pain: https://copd.net/clinical/tips-managing-pain/. What do you do to manage the pain you've described?

Ice packs seem to help me manage some of the pain.

Yes, kimmer1968, I've found ice packs can bring relief as well. Do you alternate with heat? or just stick with the ice?
