My husband just injured his back at work and I'm finding that it makes sex difficult. Has anyone else out there had an injured back or had a husband/wife/SO with an injured back? What positions did you try to improve your sex and make it less painful?

My back is fine - but my wife loves cowgirl (being on top) and it's very easy on the back. If he has lower back pain putting a pillow under his knees will take some of the pressure off.

I'd say that doggie is also good because he can stand on the floor with you on the edge of the bed - giving him plenty of leverage without too much back strain.

Good luck!

Giving him oral sex, and him doing the same with you. That's probably the safest.

For me, sometimes it is easier with her on top or reverse cowgirl. Also if we do doggy it is easier, and I personally like to be on the edge of the bed to where my feet hang off. For some reason this seems to put less pressure on my back with my feet hanging off the edge and is much more comfortable. Standing up during doggy or her laying on her back helps a lot also.

Fortunately his back is much better now but I will keep that in mind if he injures himself again.!

My back often gives me grief, so, if I can a tally talk my lady into getting frisky we usually use a position where she lays on her back with her legs at 90 degrees, then I can enter her doggy while I lay on my side, protecting my back. It is low demand and she is free to do whatever helps her or me to get off. Standing doggy really does not work for me , too much pressure on my low back.
It's a bummer when your back dictates how you can get it on, but at leas there are some choices apart from just letting it go.

I injured my back several years ago and it is a recurring pain. I often end up having such bad pain that I don't want to be touched I just want to curl up in a ball or just lay flat on the hard ground. When I am able to move around and I do take pain meds sometimes it does give a little added boast to my stamina.
