I would try to rotate/flip the bed around and see if you get any better results. Try this with the mattress and the box springs. If there are springs broken in the box spring or the mattress, then when you rotate it, the broken springs would be at your feet where your body is putting less pressure so it wouldn’t be noticeable.

Mattress and box springs wear out over time. Or you may need to flip or rotate more frequently.

The box spring can also give you a lot of problems, not just the mattress. I had the same problem before we threw down $2000 and bought a new set.
In the meantime, you can take a piece of plywood about 2 x 3 wide and place it under that side where her back is. It will firm up the mattress so that it does not sag as much into the box-spring at night.
Get a tempurpedic pillow that has a curve in it. It will keep her neck from sagging down into the mattress as well. bad neck position leads to pain between the shoulder blades. I know from experience.
It’s a temporary fix until you can get a new set, but it should work for the time being.

Her side may be worn down a little more than your side. Maybe you should start having sex on your side to even it out Also try flipping your mattress. The best is to flip your mattress every 3 months and when you do, flip and rotate 180 degrees.
