BUT....... SOMETHING is indeed going on in there. I just chatted with my Wife, who's at work and told her. I wanna try sleeping WITHOUT our mattress jacked up for one night to see if that helps. When we first placed the wedge under our bed, it was a 7 in lift. WAY too high. I indeed felt a adverse affect on my back and ribs. Over the last month and a half, since we bought the wedge, we have cut it smaller twice but I STILL feel achy in the ribs and back when I first wake up. I'm HOPING that is the answer. But I told her if by Monday, it's still the same, I'm headed to the ER Monday morning. Even sitting right now, I feel almost nothing...That is better than just a week ago and much better than 3-4 weeks ago......Hand in hand with lowering the mattress.
Also......Going to an ER on a weekend and being admitted worries me because I did that for a LARGE kidney stone attack 12 years ago on a early Saturday morning . They admitted me but do absolutely nothing till Midday Monday. I AM gonna address it sooner than later. I have decided that my exam in 9 days is too far away to wait.
