Back pain

It is said that back pain can be cured by taking bed rest. Taking bed rest actually worsens your back pain instead of making it better. If you engage yourself in your daily activities, you recover faster and will have fewer problems. A maximum of 2 days bed rest is recommended for back pain from sprains or strains. You should stretch your back combined with small exercise to improve the condition instead of lying steady in your bed.
