I really don't understand the severe pain in the morning. While sleeping I assume the body is relaxed. Am I mistaken? Last night 3am woke up with severe pain. Took two hours to work it out. Went back to sleep at 5am and woke up at 6am with severe pain. Took another 3 hours to work it out. For the rest of the day I have stretched 3 times and floor exercises 3 times, plus sitting with a heating pad set to high all day while I work. It feels fairly normal right now. Come morning it will be awful again. I sleep with the heating pad as well. Makes no sense.
