My Poor Back/Butt

There are back exercises that can help strengthen your back if you do them each day. If you have pain there all the time, seeing a chiropractor can be helpful.
Make sure your bed is not too soft - a firm mattress is much better for a bad back.

To expand on the bed idea:Try sleeping on your side, with a pillow between your knees. It's supposed to be the perfect angle/alignment for your back. I've done that a couple times when I have my back aches, and it seems to help. See here, starting with #5, but the whole article may help, albeit mostly for sleeping.

i used to always sleep like that but now i have to sleep on my back. its like ocd or else i cant fall asleep

Have you tried putting a pillow under your back, or maybe your legs? Would that help at all?
