Can't sleep straight on bed because it pains a lot on my back.
Then I have to sleep on my chest side or on shoulder side.

Hi.... You may be able to avoid back pain or prevent its recurrence by improving your physical condition and learning and practicing proper body mechanics.
Exercise. Regular low-impact aerobic activities — those that don't strain or jolt your back — can increase strength and endurance in your back and allow your muscles to function better....
