Dear Sir/ Madam, Thank you for posting you query on healthcaremagic.com I advice you to take proper rest. Do not try to over stress your self. I suggest you to take specific ergonomic posture. 1. Keep your back straight, maintain all 3 natural curves in your spine 2. Distribute your weight evenly on both hips 3. Keep your head and neck aligned over your shoulders 4. Sit back in your chair; your back should be supported by the seat back 5. Adjust your chair height so that your hips are slightly higher than your knees 6. Be sure your feet are supported by the floor or a footrest 7. Avoid being in one postion for long periods of time; get up from your chair at least once every 30 mins or vice versa 8Do not twist or bend your back Along with this point i would recommend you to strengthen your back. Hot water fermentation will help in reveling soreness and pain, do it multiple times in a day. Apart from this I recommed you get additional investigation done like X-ray and MRI, to see the level of nerve involvement. You can always stay active, but do not overdo anything which increases your pain. Hope you find my advice informative and please revert back if you need nay further information. With best wishes Tehzib Saiyed(PT)
