What can cause severe pain in top of my back in the middle of the night when I'm on my back?

If pain is the only symptom, then you can probably rule out a pinched nerve. This could be a variety of disorders including a slipped disc. Consider yoga and light stretching to improve your core. If the problem is muscular, you may be able to benefit from massage therapy. Also, think about investing in an ergonomic pillow.

Look into a new mattress. Also look into the type of shoes you are wearing. I found that I can only wear a heal that is 1 1/2 inches high and its better when its a wedge heel. Maybe one leg is shorter then the other and need a gel sole in one shoe to balance you out.
